A Favorite Antique Spot
Main Street Antiques is in my opinion a very authentic styled antique store that has a little bit of everything for everyone that walks through their doors. There are about five or more antique/thrift stores here on Main Street in Downtown Turlock but Main Street Antiques is always a favorite spot for me. Being a vendor-based store, you never know what you’re going to find and for the most part, the prices are reasonable for how old and how rare some of these items are.
Vinyl Records and Nostalgia
I used to go shopping here when I was younger with my friends and they had a back room where it was just a bunch of vinyl records. I always thought that was really cool because now most kids probably don’t even know what a record is or what they were used for. I recently visited the shop and noticed that the room is no longer enclosed but instead more opened up and the record selection is still very much large.
I would guess there are at least 30 different vendors inside and when I went during Christmas time, there were a lot of vintage Christmas ornaments, clothes, and of course collectibles. For the most part, there were a lot of antiques that I have never seen before which I would say is a hard thing to find with me working at a thrift store and my weekly trips to the flea market. So, for them to have multiple items that I’ve never seen before is pretty cool for me.
Vintage Finds around Every Corner
While writing this blog, I looked at their sign up front and realized Main Street Antiques was established back in 1996! That was almost 30 years ago. I wonder how many current vendors are from the original shop from back then and how much has changed over time. It’s definitely interesting and cool to see all the “old stuff” that we no longer have or even think about now, now that technology has made things so much easier for people.
A Museum of Treasures for Sale
With their selection of vintage toys, games and really cool furniture, Main Street Antiques has a little bit of everything for everyone. It feels like a museum but things are for sale. One of my favorite vendors inside is still there since I was a kid and they have a lot of smaller trinkets and black light glassware displayed in their spot. I’m not sure why I like fluorescent glass but it’s pretty cool and if you don’t know what I’m talking about go to Antiques on Main Street and see for yourself!
