Mix of old and new, fine and frivolous, guarantees you won't leave empty-handed.. The Scene
Tucked next to Bargain City Thrift Store in an aging shopping center, this 15,000-square-foot antique mall is a find in itself. Purists will object to the many inexpensive decorative accessories mixed with the true antiques, but for most of the market's many devotees, that's half the fun. Can't spring for the antique blue-and-white French salt box? Then take home the replica on the next shelf. A big band soundtrack and the occasional aroma of cookies baking in the cafe make shopping here pure entertainment.

The Goods
The market offers predictable items found in any antique mall--chintz ware, vintage tablecloths, tole trays and majolica, both old and new--but there are also plenty of surprises. Examples include wooden trunks and suitcases plastered with peeling travel decals, brightly painted wooden santos and all sizes of old news type. Garden ornaments and grandfather clocks are specialties.

Pleasant Antique Shopping. Tasteful & enjoyable shopping for things from yesteryear! A great place to go, but do not bring children unless you have deep pockets.... reason... you break it - you buy it!!! Leave the kiddies at home. Great day out for moms & grandmoms to hang out.
