Did not realize we had this kind of shop around in the area. We went to a similar place in Baltimore, MD last year and my son loved it. I'm so glad we found this place! Very cool store with lots of interesting and odd things. It's jam packed with everything imaginable and has quite a few different rooms to explore. If you are a collector of odd things, this is definitely the place for you.
We probably spent close to an hour in here just looking around. There was honestly so much to look at.

I'm going to go back as often as I can to see all the new stuff they get in stock....
Read moreFrom the chalk outlines painted on parking spaces to its multiple rooms and patio areas displaying dark and historic artifacts, Oddities and Antiques is as much a mini theme park as a gallery and shop. A sheet-covered mannequin on an old stretcher greets customers. That is, before owner Frank Miranda welcomes you into his little house of dark wonders. Miranda stocks hundreds of items from darker periods in history — old guns, munitions, shackles, whips, medieval cages, Soviet-era gas masks and other disturbing items mixed in with displays of antique medical supplies, skeletons, animal skulls, crystals and other random tchotchkes. Urged to extend the store's hours, Miranda is opening up on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., as well as Thursday through Saturday. (Extracted from my review in the...
