Located downtown in the Arts District . I love going into old Antique Stores and seeing things I remember and hoping to find something that I may want to buy if I can get a good deal on it . It's like going back in time . First thing when you come in , they have lockers for you to put your backpack in or shopping bag , which I can see since this is not the greatest neighborhood , but they are trying to improve the area .
It is a bit of a maze , but not hard to get your way around . I have been to the Charleston location by Arizona Charlie's Casino and it is bigger and takes a while to get around to everything . It is pretty clean and somewhat organized . It is a mix of old casino stuff as to be expected and stuff from the 70's and 80's . I liked the section with all the Tiki stuff . That was really cool .
I was asked several times if I needed help , like 5 times . I know you are watching out for shoplifters , but I don't need to be followed around and I am really looking for stuff , not just browsing . I am in my 50's and not a shoplifter or homeless person and I do not look or dress like one . So , it was not a pleasant way to be looked at while shopping in the store .
I unfortunately didn't find any of the things I was looking for . I did enjoy the trip back in time , except for being followed around like a criminal . I've never experienced that at the...
Read moreSadly a bad experience. I came in looking for a tiki bar. I have spent several hundred dollars in here a year ago to decorate my scooter shop and yesterday I came back hoping to find something for my home. I was viewed as a criminal and followed around the store. On top of that the security cameras are facing the register allowing patrons to see them. It was very disturbing to see they had been taking several photos of me front, back and side profiles ( I feel an important detail is that I am black) it actually affected my sleep that night, being made to feel like I was looked at as a thief. I was not the only person in the store shopping, I came in dressed nicely, carrying a Electric Scooter so this seems sadly racially motivated. The irony being I'm actually a (Popular) Downtown tour guide. I will continue to shop here to support the sellers but implore the manager or owner to address this sort of behavior with the shop staff as I have heard many similar complaints about them and can not recommend this amazing place to patrons or friends due to my...
Read moreThis place was big, and fun! Great place to spend at least an hour or 2. Each booth is a different seller, so you get a different vibe from each one. When in the front, it appears it's not too big, but then you turn the corner, and there's a lot more going on. There were people around to help if you needed it and would hold your items at the counter so you weren't walking around with a bunch of stuff.
There were purses, jewelry, clothes, art, you name it! I got a couple of gift items and a piece of home decor from a local artist. This place is a combination of thrift, collectibles, and artists creating new pieces. I really liked wandering around this place, looking through all the cool things. We went on a Saturday late morning and it was decently busy! I'm sure when you go to this place, you will walk out with something, I know...
