Thank goodness it was sunny, 65 degrees and breezy. It made this festival very pleasant to visit. Artists had everything from pottery to blacksmith crafts displayed. Students from TTU were in the various classrooms demonstrating what they are trying to get their degrees in at the University (www.tntech.edu/craftcenter). In a state park that offers boating, lodging, hiking, fishing and various other things to do, the Appalachian Center for Crafts is a nice break of the beaten path. The location sits upon a ridge that overlooks the Caney Fork River. And if you're hungry, the Redbud Cafe is open Mon-Fri 8:00-2:00. Bathrooms, art gallery and gift shop are all available.

A beautifully designed space, friendly staff. I would've liked a little bit more information or an artist statement/bio along with the gorgeous works on exhibit.

But, that being said, they are more than just a comic store. The offer a little bit of everything related to gaming (card games), funko pop, action figures, comics ...... and all the things related to these types of items. I didn't make any purchases and can't speak to price, so you'd have to check that out yourself. But, this is a nice little ship that touches on a lot of different things (in the genre) and is worth checking out if you're in the area .... you may just find that one elusive item that you've been searching for here.

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.

But it doesn't really disappoint me considering Bob has never advertised his store as strictly "sports cards". It's always been "collectors den" which varies from a great selection of comic books that are greatly priced and still does have seem decent sports cards in the shop as well. I can't really blame him for switching to Magic because the store is located on a college campus and Magic is HUGE there and he probably makes a killing on it considering that there is ALWAYS people in there either buying or playing magic and he always gets the new magic cards in. He also has tournaments every week. Bobs also has a good selection supplies for cards and comics, which are also fairly priced. His staff is also nice and and friendly. Although I do wish it was more of a sports shop like it was I can't blame him for making a smart business move. His store is right in the middle of Magic haven. They also sell Pokemon cards that are newer and they are also cheaper than wal mart which was pleasing to me. If your looking for comics and gaming cards this place it perfect for you. And if your looking for sports cards it's sad to that they are better places in town for sports cards but I would still recommend Bobs to anyone.
