Halloween⿿s coming, and everyone⿿s got ideas of what they want to dress up as. But you don⿿t want to get one of those cheesy, plastic-mask, store-bought costumes. If you want to look authentic, it⿿s time to think outside the box.

If you⿿re considering an outfit that⿿s military-related, stop by the Army Navy Surplus Store (on the same block as A La Turka). They have everything. I⿿m not kidding. I⿿ve witnessed first-hand the huge selection of genuine U.S. military products. Bags, uniforms, watches, T-shirts, sunglasses, rain gear, helmets, goggles, belts, camping equipment, flight suits, boots, gas masks, jackets, parachutes, Swiss army knives, flags… you name it, they⿿ve got it. And whether you⿿re getting costume accessories or gear that⿿s useful all year long, the friendly staff can help you find what you⿿re looking for.
