The owners, an older couple are incredibly grumpy but the array of weird stuff in this place keeps me coming back. In the row of file-drawer cases to the left of the checkout desk are thousands of old photographs. I've thumbed through them on several occasions, finding some real gems for not to much money. I once found a hand-written shipping invoice from 1860. If you pay compliment to the hodge-podgy looking tesla coil up high on the wall opposite the till, you're likely to loosen the owner up a bit - he built it.
