Two stars for the owner hovering around my family during our visit on Sunday, March 23rd and making my overall experience less pleasing.

My family and I came in because it was our first time visiting Havre de Grace. I've passed this area for decades when I finally decided to take the path less traveled. We already visited other establishments and thought a visit to an antique mall would be nostalgic and I would be able to show my children (6 and 11) what life was like before the internet. The moment my family and I walked in, George scrambles around as if it were all hands on deck. I noticed I was in his path of travel and instead he went around a different way. I apologized for my being in the way, but George ignored me. His disposition and disgruntled look on his face told me my family and I weren't welcomed there. I noticed his hovering when I was flipping through the maryland license plates bin on the floor. He blew me off when I apologized; it was halfway through the store that I told my family it was time to go. We left shortly thereafter.

It's a shame because I see the town making improvements with street construction that looks like it would be ready for the summer season; a season I thought I might want to come back and spend a nice weekend.

I know now my family and I need to stay in our lane. We won't be back to Havre de Grace because of our experience at Bahoukas Antique Mall. I may have visited the upstairs section, but George clearly didn't want us there.

I wish this town the best in growth and development. I hope owners like George can move past the days from which his relics and wares were collected.

Not all families have degenerates and my family knows how to mind their manners.
