They were very friendly and unpretentious, like everyone else I met in Canada. What caught my eye is a 1939 Kalamazoo guitar, made by Gibson. It's in great condition for it's age. He was asking a lot for it, but it's a time capsule. 1930's Gibsons and Martins are the holy grail. These often need expensive restoration, but this is a nice one, no cracks, etc. Someone like me, but much wealthier, is going to love it.

Gayle and I were in Quebec City last fall and in a new town, I like to wander. After taking a…read moreright off one of the main streets, I came upon Old Quebec City Hardware. This place is relatively small and is loaded with iron work for the home. That includes hooks, bells, mailboxes, pulls, handles, etc. It's actually like peeling back an onion as I returned a couple times during the trip and found other stuff that I didn't notice before. I ended up taking up a card holder (with an owl motif) and a key holder shaped like a turtle. What I really coveted was one of the cast iron mail boxes, which I'm still considering as a mail order option. The place is fun, funky, and practical. My kind of tourist destination. It was also interesting to listen to other customers discuss home improvements in French.

We visited Magasin Général P.L. Blouin during a cruise stop in Quebec City and I absolutely LOVE…read morethis place! It's located in a very walkable area of Quebec City that's surrounded by countless specialty shops and cafes, and I wish I had more time (and more money) to spend in this awesome shop! It's crowded inside. It's very crowded. The store isn't really all that large, but they manage to put three store's worth of merchandise in one small location. Wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling, it's all merchandise. The merchandise is crazy and awesome. There are vinyl records, games, comics, vintage signs and post cards, ages-old memorabilia, and more stuff than I could adequately remember to include. It was, of course, the vinyl record display outside the store that caught my attention. The staff was awesome and spoke both French and English. (I applaud the fact that so many people spoke both, when Americans (myself included, but I do know a fair amount of Spanish) tend to master only one language). Magasin Général P.L. Blouin is an amazing, charming, memorabilia filled shop that I wish wasn't so far away.

Kind of disorganized but I liked the low key environment. The manager was very pleasant and accommodative and went downstairs to bring up more of a hat that I was trying on so that I can compare more on fit and feel. I ended up purchasing a Canada Hat here.
