This is a store chalk full of merchandise. The story is that the owners trip to the Midwest and East and hunt down treasures to bring back to the West Coast, which is an effective antique strategy considering the West has historically been less settled and prices are artificially high.
There are definitely some neat "finds," however, I thought their prices were a bit high, even for the West Coast.I mean, I could certainly do better in LA on much of the same stuff and we all know rents there are squeezing margins. I certainly would have considered paying their slight mark-up, if I found something that I couldn't live without, but that didn't happen today.
I didn't find the staff to be overly friendly, either. The bride and I were in there for well over 20 minutes and the woman never even once acknowledged us; not that I wanted her to acost me, but "hello" or "let me know if I can help you" might have been nice. read more
