My goodness, this place is big! Lots of antiques to look through. My only con would be the man at the register. When my daughter brought her items to the counter, 5 of the 7 were 1/2 off. Before he even touched an item to remove the tags, I asked him if he had a way to know which ones were on sale, and he said, "Yes." When she walked out, I asked her how much she saved. She looked at her receipt and he had rang up her items at full price. I went back inside, and there was a lady at the counter, and I explained to her what happened.

In the antiques trade, the term refers to objects more than 100 years old. Vintage is 20+ years old. Collectable is just that,...

I love stopping in here occasionally but you can't make it a daily visit because the selection here is not rotated often at all. Many items are severely overpriced, and there is no ability to haggle over the prices. It's a shame because I personally would have purchased many things if only they were priced just a bit lower. Vendors should take note of this fact...if something does not move inside a month then it probably never will at that price. Try lowering occasionally and see if you do any better. Oh and the upstairs area can be unbearably...
