[QUOTE="pearlsnblume, post: 317528, member: 141"]We have lost most of our antique stores here. There is one remaining but I don't know how they are still open unless they are selling stuff online. I wouldn't even venture to go there because it is on a main street with a lot of traffic and there is absolutely no place to park without being given a ticket. We really never had that many here, but the few that dotted the area are long gone. The close by thrift shops remain, but their selection is terrible and their prices are too high. The one I used to go to years ago, had a great amount of goodies and the prices were great. Then they changed the person who ran the store and now if they think or know something is vintage, it has a sticker on it that says vintage and a sky high price. The few times I have been in there this past year, it was a ghost town. There is one thrift store a bit further away that is ok. The prices can be negotiated. The guy who runs it finds all his stuff as he picks up everything from people who just want to get rid of everything with no hassle. So he gets most if not all for free. Unfortunately, this place is only open 1 day a week, on Sunday so that day I usually am at estate sales.[/QUOTE]
