Fifty-Two 80’s: A Totally Awesome Shop in Denver is devoted to one decade and one decade only—the bomb diggity 1980s. Judging by how packed the shelves are with pop culture memorabilia, you’d think owners Tony Vecchio and Dede Thompson started collecting action figures, dolls, trading cards, video games, and lunch boxes back when Reagan was still in office. But no, the couple spent less than six months in 2014 scouring eBay for childhood relics. Their nostalgic haul is one of the most comprehensive time capsules in existence, with shout-outs to all the biggies: Michael Jackson, Alf, Freddy Krueger, Hello Kitty, Menudo, MC Hammer, Roger Rabbit, Nintendo, Care Bears, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, New Kids on the Block, Pee Wee Herman, Star Wars, Garfield, and more. For sports nuts, Fifty-Two 80’s has Denver’s largest collection of Elway-era Broncos merch, including blue and orange hats, mugs, and helmets. Rad!
