Omg this place is amazing! There is so much stuff to be looked at!
First off, this place is great to support a local business and not those Salvation Army and Good Will Stores. More packed here than any of those other places.
I was (and still am) a bit confused... I guess the whole building is known as "Tilton & Cook Market Place" but each floor is a different owner.. or rather it's a business that rents out space to vintage/thrift stores. On the first floor I was told there were 5 different owners, but it's really hard to figure out whose stuff is whose and if you're entering another "store". Just remember where you got stuff.
There is also a place to eat and relax on the first floor which is pretty cute, but I didn't look at the menu cause I wasn't hungry.
People there were pretty nice. You really have to go digging around here (or in some areas).
I was only able to get to the second floor... I think I was there for about 2hrs... there is just so much stuff! (I didn't even finish the second floor).
From my understanding, each floor is its own "shop" (except for the first floor). But no one seems to have their own name... just "Tilton & Cook Market Place" or "Tilton & Cook Corp". Make sure to bring lots of cash... no one in the building can take credit/debit.
And at last, the days and hours for these shops are all the same.
I could be wrong on a few things here, but this is all what I gathered and understood. Im definitely gonna have to return. Such...
Read moreUsed to be interesting on different levels, but now slacking on items organization and products. They added another vendor which I personally wanted to see what he had to offer. Followed his Tacky orange day glow arrows to a big Rude sign stating it wasn't a museum buy something. Well a strange man dressed as a leprechaun sitting in a chair snapped out what are you looking for? RUDE TONE! Replied what ever catches my eye! RUDE! Ok was disorganized in that all rows were blocked at ends had to manuver around things people. Saw some candle stands I liked and would have bought little rude guy snapped wanted to sell table chairs ( which didn't match) as a set. I asked how much just the stands he threw out 175.00 . Never in my life 20.00 bucks if that. Then as I walked away he stated I'll get that and more on line! I SAID FINE GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! SO ORIGINAL FLOORS WORTH A POKE AROUND ONCE A YEAR THE NEW PART DONT WASTE THE EFFORT TO CLIMB THE...
Read moreI had heard about this place on Facebook this past week. I love flea markets and second hand/thrift shops. So I couldn't wait to go yesterday. I should have stayed home. This place is full of junk....and I mean JUNK. Things that probably should be in a landfill. Half bottles of cleaning chemicals, used toilet brushes, furniture from the 60s that should have been burned years ago, dirty clothing, and just plain broken junk. Not only that, some of the vendors are the rudest people I have ever encountered. Especially one who got mad if you touched items. Sorry lady I was looking for that item that I touched. Chances are I was going to buy it. But since you so rudely yelled at my wife and I, I kept my money in my pocket and didn't buy it. I swear some people do not belong in the eye of the public. I can say I wont be back...
