    I've been going to Elmer's since I was three (or younger; these are my earliest memories of it),…read moreand remember playing on the swingset made of...I'm not sure if it was old phone poles, or butcher block, or logs, but something big and clunky; there was a cow or some odd animal for a swing with a barrel for a body...A wooden statue of Elmer in a t-shirt. My dad used to renovate run-down stuff he'd salvaged from the Alna Dump (dump picking was legal; this was the early 70s) and sell or trade to Elmer. Hours would go by. So much amazing and rusty junk, and random things like thousands of wooden eggs and bags of antique long white gloves and lace tablecloths sold by the pound. Anyway, it's an antique mall, now, but there is still the old vibe there, chickens wandering around, rusty sawblades, and if you go out in the back rooms which maybe you aren't supposed to...The smell of wet cement and the old creepy tools hanging up *chef's kiss* Oh, and you'll leave with something reasonably priced. Last trip's treasures were that Yes album with the six part fold-out-art ($8) and a kinda cheesy old painting with ornate frame ($13); I'll toss the painting and upcycle the frame. Pretty sure some ghosts "live" there...bring a camera and take some spooky pictures to see spirit orbs! Can't recommend an Elmer's afternoon highly enough, particularly on a cold, rainy day.

    Excellent used and vintage items shop. Multiple vendors with interesting well priced items. Owners…read moreare very nice and welcoming. A great stop on your way to wherever you are going. Plan on at least 30 minutes of browsing to get through the 3 levels.

    The selection is expansive and continuously changing. With a good number of vendors selling, they…read morealso have some pretty remarkable deals and a clearance section worth browsing. It's always an enjoyable stop in Bangor. They have a second location as well, but I have not visited it.

    This antique shop mostly has fantastic pieces - I've gotten some great furniture and antique…read morescientific devices from here. I was sad to find they are allowing one of their vendors to sell a framed reproduction photograph of a KKK March from the 1920s. I understand when dealers are selling actual historic artifacts (I still think it's weird to profit off of racist histories, but I understand there are complex perspectives about archival value). This was not that - the back of the photograph showed that it was printed last year at Walmart, but it was being sold as a framed photo. It felt celebratory and exploitative, not historical or educational. When I asked the owners why they allowed that, they said it is illegal to prevent the dealer from selling the photo, and that it is "free speech." This is not true - antique malls are legally allowed to have guidelines that dictate what can be sold. I think it is incredibly distasteful and unethical that the owners are choosing to profit off of images of such a violent, disgusting organization. I sadly won't return, and I hope the owners will take accountability for their decisions.
