My fam and I like to frequent antique An interesting thing I've noticed: When I was a kid, I didn’t go to many antique stores, but the few I did they always seemed to be carefully curated stores. The ones I find these days seem to be a collection of cases and/or booths that people rent from the store owner and they might sell actual antiques, arts and crafts, collectibles, or whatever random junk they think someone might spend money on. Not sure it’s just the changing times, rural vs urban, or maybe it's reginal since I’m not living states away from where I grew up.and thrift stores. We don’t always buy something, as it can be fun to just look at everything. However, you never know when you may find something cool. We also like looking for old media for our various collections (VHS, Laser Disk, Cassette Tapes, Vinyl, etc.). I got a nice haul of music on a recent outing to one of my favorite antique stores.
