Entry No. 2 — the San Diego file — filed under: oddities

The Gold Dust Collective

A moody, maximalist boutique where fox and coyote mounts stare out from shelves crowded with human-tooth jewelry, memento mori, fake glass eyes, and Victorian-style mourning ephemera — locals describe it as "lots and lots of oddities, taxidermy, momento mori, old clothing and bones" packed into one North Park storefront.

The move: Wander the shop together hunting for the strangest object on the shelf — a two-headed novelty, a Victorian hair wreath, a real skull — then grab coffee on nearby 30th Street and compare finds.
