We vacationed in Dale Hollow Tennessee and we had a day that it rained and we could not get out in…read moreour boat on the lake so we decided to go over to Cookeville to take a look at the shops and go out to dinner. We stopped in Jones Antiques and found this is a very nice store. We spent a few hours in there and in reading up on the place after the fact I found out that we missed the entire basement where they have caused World War I, World War II, and Civil War memorabilia. We will definitely have to go back and catch the basement part of the store. As we perused the shop it looked like they had a little bit of everything and in all kinds of price ranges from $5 record albums up into the unapproachable numbers for some of the items. Well at least for me LOL. I did find an item that I brought home, I recently remodeled my bathroom in a lake theme and found this beautiful mermaid that fit my decor perfectly. Take a look at the photos to get some idea of what they have. I love browsing this kind of store you never know what you are going to find! We will definitely be stopping here when we get back to Cookeville once again. These places sure conjure up the memories!

This racist establishment targeted my family for being people of color. We have been coming to…read moreCookeville for 30 years and never before experienced such malice. After spending a few minutes browsing the store (for example, looking through records, or examining a trumpet that supposedly works but is broken) the host very angrily and rudely told us to "Stop touching things we had no intention of buying." Interestingly enough, we were actually interested in buying the things we were touching. Unfortunately, it's hard to know what record to buy without looking at them. How do you know if a trumpet works? There was never any hospitality or politeness, no mention of "hey yall." Instead we got "yall are really getting on my nerves" This racist act shines very poorly on Downtown Cookeville.

The name doesn't say it all. This was my second time in here before I decided to write a review. I…read morewanted to see the consistency. Both times I've been there, I walk though the door and get excited, until I see that the older blonde woman at the front of the store/register just stares at me. She may love her job, but she sure doesn't make anyone feel welcome. Anywho the store had just gotten in a huge shipment of spring things, so there were boxes in the aisles. However, it was exciting to see what was coming out. But from the quality of the clothes (extra thin cotton), it made the clothes look cheap and perhaps after several washes wouldn't hold up. I went there specifically looking for bikinis and underwear. And to my surprise, I hit the jack pot. Lined bikinis were $9.99 (for both). I think the most I saw for a bikini was under $20. Just the day before I'd priced them at Kmart ($16.99 a piece). The quality was about the same. Underwear were 3 for $5. I even spotted a clearance rack with brand new NINE WEST jeans (size 2 only) marked down to $1. I guess that was truly giving them away. What the heck, I bought 'em. I collected my things, headed to the cashier, and without a smile or conversation, the older blonde woman cashed me out. No "thank you" or "have a nice day" once I was done. I am giving this place a 4 for shopping fun, but the older blonde cashier took the ratings to a 2 because she's not in the business of "customer service". Hence, a 3 is the final score. I'll shop there again, but maybe I can time it differently.
