Love this store! I ended up starting the passport book tour here with my bestie!…read more The drinks are absolutely wonderful and staff had us laughing. This is a used bookstore that is very reasonably prices at $3 for paperbacks and $5 for hardbacks with a few other prices in between. They do game nights and have board games spread throughout the store. I really enjoyed having D20 die to figure out a drink because I happen to be very indecisive when there are lots of choices. We ended up a red wedding (17) and a stygian jungle night (18). Both were really good and my friend and I cannot wait to stop at this store again when we are back in town!

Country Fair Mall is located in Coal Valley IL. Not too far of a drive from the Quad Cities and…read moreprobably one of the larger antique malls in the area. It's a standard antique mall with rows and rows of vendor booths. Country Fair Mall owns two buildings on the property which are strangely seperated by a second shop (The Cottage Antiques & Co). While The Cottage Antiques & Co is more upscale the two Country Fair Mall buildings are more my style. Most of the booths at Country Fair Mall are pretty plain and some require a little digging and rummaging. That depends on the vendor of course... Same with prices. Some are a little high, some are at market, and there are some great deals to be found too! Depending on the vendor... As far as I can tell there was only one staff member working in each building so if you needed a case opened you might have to wait if there was a line at the register... Both gentlemen were polite and easy to work with. Both my girlfriend and I walked out with purchases. My day was made when I found a Gold Medal dynamite box for under market price. These regularly go for $125+ online and I paid $35 (I think). A heckuva deal... I didn't even have to think twice about it! I collect stuff like that... Things might be a little dusty and more rustic than other shops... We had a great time walking through both buildings and shopping! We were there on the July 4th weekend and they were open on the holiday itself... More than anything else I guess... We were just really grateful they were open and we had something fun to do!

Came here for the first time. For a small little comic book shop, they had a lot of cool stuff. I'm…read morenot huge on comics, but I love my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) and they had a good selection. They also have some sports cards and and action figures. I ended up buying a TMNT set for $80 and a few magazines. To me, that's a steal coming from Hawaii where everything will cost you an arm and a leg. They appear to keep their top comics in mint condition. The staff here are very friendly and informational. The parking lot is small and I didn't see a restroom around.

This was a fun stop…read more But I'm going to give it to your straight here... Warning: If you have issue with the heat DO NOT go here on a hot day! Like on a July 4th weekend like we did... 90+ degrees on the Saturday we stopped by Mississippi Marketplace. It's a large space and only one small closed off section has AC. They do run large fans throughout the space and offer free complimentary bottles of water. I could feel sweat start to bead up on me within a couple of minutes of walking in and it didn't get much better... Basically the space is a large open machine shed with rows of vendor booths. The row layout is aimilar to many other antique/vendor malls. With no lower ceiling the power bill to run AC to cool the place down would probably be a small fortune... My best guess is it's an even split between antique or vintage items and modern new items. I got a couple of great deals here... An old vintage fire extinquisher. Cleaned up these go for $250 online. The vendor had it priced at $70 and was running a 50% sale. So $35... I can put some elbow grease into it... It will be a great addition to my collection. A rough 12 inch vintage Wagner cast iron pan for $20. It's worth that all day long. I'll strip it and reseason it. The staff here is fantastic! Great interactions with them! There are some locked cases you will need them to access, but the vast majority of items can just be picked up and taken to the front. Definitely worth the time to stop! But I'll reinterate... If you don't deal with heat well plan this visit on a nicer day than we did...!

The building is loaded with individually owned, displayed and priced units. Some of them are time frames, some of them are theme booths while others are hodgepodge. There are lots of "Remember these?" and "What do you do with that?" Fun Fun Fun The only drawback for me was the building was cold. I can only imagine what it will feel like in cold weather.
