It was a Monday, so many of the antique stores were closed. We were fortunate to stumble on The Bizarre Bazaar located in The Opera House. We spent over an hour wandering in the various small shops. The owner of the building and his shop The Bizarre Bazaar was so helpful finding things for us and giving us good deals on our new treasures. Will certainly go back on our next visit.
