Really cool place if you're into vintage 50s 60s and 70s stuff. I swear we are the coolest generation, had the best bands that wrote stories wrapped around music, had the cool muscle cars, played outside in the neighborhood till dark, and no cell phones or Internet. Took some pictures at the shop that don't really do the place justice, but check their website and I recommend a visit.
Stopped here during our family vacation as it had the highest rating and was the only antique store open on a Sunday. Small store with cool novelty cars and old tvs, but that's pretty much it. The parking is super small, so come early.
I’ve been coming since they opened and just now back for the first time since 2019…what an absolutely amazing shop this has become! So glad to see all the new rooms and the place just thriving. So very worth the visit!
I absolutely love this place. You never know what you’re going to find. You can spend hours here and not see everything.
They do a great job of organizing the sections so you have a Music Vinyl Record section. Which is awesome. They also have a Delorean from Back To The Future.
Old photos, also old autographs as well. Parking is easy and plenty of it. The staff are all super friendly.
Some people say the items are a bit overpriced but I get it, where else are you going to find some of the random rare items they acquire to sell.
I highly recommend checking them out. You won’t be disappointed.
Amazingly unique place in its own. It feels out of place but in a sense of you walked into a time capsule and went way back! They have so many interesting things there with such reasonable prices and it's just awesome to give back history to communities of people who find items here because it's exactly what is happening without anyone realizing it! It's almost like a museum you can buy sweet stuff at.
I want to live here!! This place is out of this world!!! The layout is awesome, there is so much to look at!! Please go and spend a few hours checking this place out - you'll be glad you did, for sure!!
A really cool vintage place. Great set up for photos. Each room had its own decor. Some things were quite pricey but but it was a fun visit. Lots of cool things to see!
This antique store such a joy to visit. The place is huge and set-up like a museum. The variety of antiques and collectables is incredible. Most of the stock is mid 20th century and leans towards cool and sheik.
The staff is welcoming and helpful.
Plan to spend at least an hour looking around and wear comfortable shoes. You will get in your steps.
I highly recommend a visit.
