I should have known better. Georgetown is its own little microcosm; it has none of the charm of a small town, while still lacking the sophistication of a larger city. So, when my boyfriend suggested that we try this antique mall, I had to really try to be open-minded. Unfortunately, this place was awful. While a large antique mall, they didn’t have the greatest pieces (or prices). I might have inquired further about a couple of items, but the staff/owners were so unpleasant and incredibly paranoid. Not long after arriving, I asked an older woman at the desk if they had a restroom. She said no and suggested that I use the restroom at a sandwich shop up the street.
