Even ‘Stranger Things’ Stars Love a Good El Paso Vintage Shop
At this point, El Pasoans should probably just expect to run into a random celebrity while going about their day. Seriously, you never know who you're going to spot in the Sun City!
Our latest celebrity visitor? None other than Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard! And while some celebrities might spend their time checking out fancy restaurants or tourist attractions, Finn decided to stop by one of Downtown El Paso's coolest vintage shops.
I respect the taste!
Stranger Things Star Finn Wolfhard Visits The Barrio Vintage in El Paso
On Sunday, October 11, The Barrio Vintage shared photos on Instagram showing that Finn Wolfhard had stopped by their Downtown El Paso shop.
The store, located at 210 S. Mesa St., Suite D, specializes in vintage clothing, unique apparel, and streetwear. It's the kind of place where you can find something with a little more personality than your average shopping mall purchase.
And clearly, Finn knows a cool spot when he sees one!
The Barrio Vintage kept things simple with their Instagram post, writing, "Thanks for stopping by," alongside photos of the actor.
It's always exciting when celebrities visit El Paso, but there's something especially cool about seeing them support local businesses while they're here.
