Bob's Pawn Shop — Local services in Woodville

I first visited in March 2020 on my way to Martin Dies Jr. State Park for camping. I didn't want to leave the shop! I purred like a kitten in front of cream; this shop was so wonderfully unusual, eclectic, full of surprises of old times and new. Everyone of the staff were cordial, helpful, energetic and very funny! There was even entertainment; right in front of the shop, on the street an 18-wheeler's tire caught fire!
