That's what you'll find at Kilroy's. I popped in on a whim and found some of the coolest Americana. I saw everything from antique fishing lures to life size Elvis mannequins. This is definitely a fun place to stop in and have a look around. You can get some cool pictures with the 6 foot hotdog figurine thing. Kilroy's is an awesome museum of antique and off-beat Americana and everything's for sale! As with most places of this type the prices are prohibitively expensive for the average person just stopping in to have a look. However it's likely that this place has a lot of value for the collector who needs that one last piece that they've been looking for all these years.

I was leaving the Toys-R-Us closing sale next door and stopped in to this great natural bed store…read more What a find on my constant quest for chemical-free sustainable things! It's a beautiful little boutique that sells handcrafted quality bedding and mattresses that are all made by Amish craftspeople. EVERYTHING is made from organic luxury materials. The engaging sales lady Dawn was super knowledgeable and helped me figure out what would be the most comfortable style of bed for me. I also met the shop owner Karna, who introduced me to a fabulous line of wool blankets. I will definitely be back with my tax refund!

Karna, the store owner, was extremely helpful in determining which pillow was perfect for the way I sleep. I ended up with a TRIO, which is ideal for a side sleeper and is GOTS certified organic. I love the density of the pillow. It's firm and supportive, so I don't feel like I'm having to re-adjust it all night long. And I love that the volume of the pillow can be easily modified with side zipper access. Plus it's made of natural rubber. It's also packaged in an adorable, reusable canvas bag that would make it a beautiful, eco-friendly gift. Already thinking about these pillows as gifts for the holidays next year.

The wall was painted besides the skate park was painted in 3 days by 3 graffiti artists that have been tagging for around 40 year together! I was blown away that was done in just 3 days!! I happened to start chatting it up with one of the gals that was part of the gallery/skate park (she might have been the owner. Dang being deaf and not catching everything said!!) and said they have actually been here for 24 years!! She shared that they have programs for teens (14-22) to teach them art and employ them. What a beautiful, touching part of the community they are!! The gallery itself was ultra clean, modern, and adorable. I was just so impressed all around with the space & their mission!
