Urban Suburban Antiques — Attraction in Birmingham

Bought several unique items. LOVE!! I have to go back and change from a 5 star to 3. I bought a lovely chest of drawers and went to pick up. The store hours are till 5:30 p.m. so we got there at 4:45 p.m. to pick up and I was also looking for 2 gifts so my friends and I were looking around for gifts. It was raining so we were wrapping the chest in the back to keep it from getting wet and an extremely rude older lady came to the back and said, "We close in 5 minutes" and it was 5:17 p.m. They locked the door and we were out of the door at 5:25 pm so they closed early to get us out.

What a great find this was! It is a lot larger than you would think by looking at the storefront. It goes way back and there are over 60 vendors with booths ranging from antiques to retro to contemporary styles. Prices range from reasonable to high but everything is negotiable. They have vintage cameras, record albums, collectibles, signs, books, furniture etc. If you are looking for a particular piece they probably have it. It’s fun to scout the place out and look at everything though. It’s like a museum!
