The Scene
This Little Five Points gem is an emporium of hipster clothing and pop-culture tchotchkes. The store is of warehouse proportions, including a shoe loft, so plan time to browse.
The Goods
Brand-new threads, cool vintage and, yes, a little bit of junk. You can update your collection of Elvis paraphernalia, put together the perfect Halloween costume and find an outfit for the evening all in one store. Clothes and shoes tend toward the more vivid side of fashion, and they range from casual to club. Gift ideas are endless: brass statuettes, candles, cookbooks, leather sundries or any small, plastic object that memorializes the latest cult-classic film.

Shopping for clothes you will find overpriced items. If you happen to be looking for water pipes, vaporizers, or tobacco items leave little 5 and check out Smoke 911 in Sandy Springs. They have better prices and selection and knowledge.

I have been going to JMD for about 12 years or so , and I have to say I love that place , it is so much fun , they have a plethora (sp?) of cr@p to look at , the prices on clothes are a little high and do seem to be made for people on meth , think size 0 ,lol but they have lots of fun knick knacks , magnets , bath stuff, books , stickers , and almost any other useless yet nifty thing you might want to pick up "just because" , I love the giant shoe staircase that leads up the the shoe area though I don't go up there very often cause I am a casual shoe kind of gal, When ever I go I almost always keep in mind presents for stocking stuffers from all the wacky things they have like the mini chicken or ninja launcher guns , lol...Now about the staff , .... I love them too, yea they are stand offish and yeah they don't chat you up with a perma-grin , but then again you ain't shopping at walmart or target are you ? You're in weird freaky store full of weird freaky people that deal with mostly tourists/posers all day ,So as long as you remember that and just want to go to have a fun time looking at and probably buying some wacky/strange/funky fricking stuff and not go in expecting anyone to want to be your best friend ... you should do alright :) oh and the shoplifting thing is all how you take it , go in , give them your stuff , get your keychain , and go shop , it really isn't a big deal unless you make it one , ( probably planning on stealing if your that offended) there are alot of theives around and they are doing what it takes to keep theft down in their store :)

I've gone to Junkman's Daughter a few times since I was in middle school. It's always fun to go to since there's nothing quite like it where I live, so I try to visit when I'm in town. I know for a fact things are overpriced. One of the employees even admitted on a message board that they jack up the prices. It's still nice to browse, maybe find something despite the prices instead of just going by a picture on the Internet. It's a little Hot Topic (I know that description will annoy some, but whatev), a little head shop, a little Spencer's, etc in one big store. The main turn off? The staff are completely rude even if you try to be nice. I walked up to the store with a friend, and they locked the door in our face and gave us a dirty look. Not "Sorry, we're closed", but a look like we were dirt for not knowing what time they closed. The staff give a lot of dirty looks, they make me afraid to buy anything. They are really paranoid about shop lifting. Ok, they took my bag at front. Fine. But do you really have to take the item I want to buy out of my hands and take it up front as if I'm going to shop lift it? I could give more examples. I've met ONE nice person who works there, ever. So don't be surprised if you don't get the best treatment. It's nothing you did. They're just jerks.
