Thrift stores thrive in down economy

Georgia's dipping economy is good news for some of the state's thrift shops. The Salvation Army store in Dublin, reports it has had a 50 percent jump in sales. Store operator Gary Spivey says they're also attracting a new class of customer. He says the upscale cars in their parking lot show it's not just the working poor and teens looking for retro-styles who are shopping there.
