Latest issue of Grid magazine includes a map of thrift stores, charity shops, and second-hand emporia in Center City, South Philly, West Philly, and a couple of other outlying areas within easy SEPTA reach.
Grid is available free at a lot of shops and groceries all over (there's a "where to find" link on the website there). The intended audience appears to be urban people in their 20s who are lacking some life skills; but there's usually 1 or 2 good gems of information in each issue. The full spread map of thrift stores, for instance, included a few places I'd never even heard of.
You can sort of read the magazine on the website; there's an embedded functionality to let you "flip" through the pages. But since it makes for better bathroom reading than desktop reading, you might as well stop by your local coffeeshop and pick it up in person.
