What People Are Saying About Blackmail
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Since opening her small shop dedicated to everyone's favorite non-color, owner Gail Chovan has carefully filled it with both vintage and new clothing. Attention to timeless glamour rules over trendiness at Blackmail. Beyond the fur-trimmed capes and beaded flapper dresses lie a meticulously selected collection of menswear, jewelry and home decor. Most decades of the past 120 years are represented; prices vary with age, quality and rarity, yet most items are within a student's reach.
Cool digs
by anonymisses
The shopping here is great, even if you don't know how to bring the whole fit together, the staff is exceptional with advice. Personal assistance is always the deal breaker with me, especially with so many cool threads to choose from. Kids clothes is always convenient @ same spot, too.
- Pros: selection, organized
- Cons: parking
Best window displays, truly unique!

I really enjoy shopping at Blackmail. I also enjoy checking our their window displays, so creative. I find great buys for men and women. I wish their hours were extended, that is the only draw back. Great place for unique finds. I've purchased many items at Blackmail.
- Pros: Super Cool
- Cons: Parking and traffic, hours of operation
The name says it all, it's all black
