We stopped her unexpectedly as we were headed to Virginia. This “store” is made up of over 150 separately owned antique booths. All are clean and the merchandise is displayed tastefully. Merchandise is a collection of mostly collectibles and antiques. Prices are fair to even below what they should be. I got a couple large planters and they were wrapping securely and even put in a box. Staff was helpful and very pleasant. Might even stop again on our way north!!

We see several music shows a year at the Weinberg and are rarely disappointed. Check their on-line schedule and pick anything that sounds reasonable if you've never been. You will likely enjoy it. You can also walk up and buy tickets at showtime or buy on line and get them at the will-call booth as you walk in.
