My family and I visited this place and WOW!!!Toys, tools, clothing, shoes, crazy finds, antiques just about anything you can think of. There was so much stuff to look at we spent a good three hours here on Sunday. We ate at the restaurant on the river it was delicious, I believe it was Daniel's tacos. Then we shopped the day away. This place is great. We will definitely be going back again.
