Irondale Pickers is a very nice place to spend a hour or two looking at the huge selection of…read moreantiques and not-so-much-antiques. The cashiers are very friendly and helpful too. And I agree with the other reviewers, the store is very neat and clean inside. I did notice that some of the vendor's prices are a little higher than other vendors, but that's life, because some grocery stores are a little higher than other grocery stores (I won't name names). And finally, there are plenty of parking spaces in front of the store, which makes things convenient. If you haven't already, checkout Irondale Pickers.

This is a huge store with a variety of items to choose from, so you can spend a lot of time looking around. I like the used music department. The CDs are only $5.

I enjoy coming to this plant store to window shop muse on the possibilities and find just what I…read morewant. I like the ferns, Japanese maples and fruit trees. Ferns are great plants they take minimal care and maintenance and have so many variaties. So too with the Japanese maples. I guess I like low maintenance plants. I saw for the first time lemon, lime, and orange trees. Impulse almost got the better of me. But I have made a decision to return and pick up some blueberry bushes.

My husband and I like to go to the gardens to walk and then stop by the store to look around. The other day, we bought a "hard to find" type of fern and it was reasonably priced. This place is a lot more than a plant shop and you could spend hours just looking at all the interesting things they have for sale. Let me say, however, bring your wallet because they can be pricey. Also be careful if you have kids with you because the shop can be crowded and things can easily be broken. The positives are that the shop layout is beautiful and the decorators took a lot of time to make it visibly appealing to the customers. And, the staff here are friendly and very knowledgeable about plants.

Soho Retro is one fabulous shop!…read more Steve, the owner, greeted me with a mimosa and his adorable pup. He instantly became my favorite person I'd met in Birmingham. The furniture, art, and other decorative pieces were gorgeous and priced really well. There were some unique finds that you probably wouldn't look for but would be glad you stumbled upon and lots of classic pieces too. I became obsessed with a couple of items but wanted to measure before making a purchase. Steve happily provided his card in case things worked out. Unfortunately, I returned home to find that my hunch was correct and the pieces wouldn't be a good fit. No worries. I'll for sure keep Soho in mind during the rest of my redecorating!
