Little ridicules to tow cars after your businesses are closed. It’s been used for overflow parking for the surrounding restaurants for YEARS… most who enter the parking lot are not going to be looking for signs about not parking there due to that reason. ESPECIALLY COMING FROM THE BACK ENTRANCE (through Cracker Barrel) I didn’t notice any of the signs that were on the front of the building… don’t know about anyone else but I’m not going to be looking for them or paying attention to stores that are closed when I’m focused on finding a parking spot, especially since they weren’t always there (I’m not over in that area often). if you don’t want someone parking there my suggestion would be to post signs at BOTH ENTRANCES.

I could not and it all came together here. Multiple buildings filled with hundreds of stalls. We entered together and stayed together for a little while, and then it was four hours later, each of us with overfilled baskets. I dont think we got to see everything either. I know I had lots more to see and only left because we were on a schedule driving down to Orlando.

We both still talk about how amazing that first antique mall experience was. If I ever am back that direction, I will certainly be...
