The very first time I visited Old Town Sweets & Antiques (also called the “Parkville Trading Post”) was back in 2018. One thing I like about this candy store is the large variety of saltwater taffy flavors that has about 70 different flavors of saltwater taffy. Other things I like about the candy store include the ice cream, the chocolates, the sour candies, and also the different flavors of fudge as well.

Read moreVery cool old fashion candy store. The candy they have is not something you can find at normal stores. In addition, they have a great selection of outstanding gourmet truffles as well as a variety of homemade fudge. They also make their own fresh deli sandwiches and have a ton of flavors of ice cream.

On a more positive note, Mr. Hangover was able to lumber the order outside to our slightly sticky table. $11...
