Located amongst the bars and restaurants on Beale Street lies a little general store. Errr, little might not be the word to describe it. Let's say "unique". It is jam packed with novelties, candy, home goods, jellies, toys, hats, pretty much anything you can think of. Jeremy and I had some time to kill on Saturday, so we wondered in. It has recently come under some new management so we were curious to see what had changed. I was pleasantly surprised! The store still has the same charm, however, the new layout makes it seem more open, more organized, and you can spot all the unique items much more easily. We had so much fun.
I absolutely adore these tin toys, especially this Memphis bridge one with boats that go round and round underneath.
I had never noticed this mural before. The plaque said all the people and scenes are based on real events. Even a lady being robbed. #onlyinmemphis
We even bought Jeremy the cutest pair of mustache socks ever.
Hey lady! Can you let me know what camera you use & the lens you use the most? I'm obsessed with your pictures and need to learn how to take better ones! :)
ReplyDeleteLove A. Schwab! I'm going to have to go check out the new, organized look!
ReplyDeletei have always wanted to go in but never have! LOVE those socks!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been there in years!! We always used to stop by there on field trips when I was younger. Good suggestion, I need to check it out again!
ReplyDeleteGeneral stores normally have the coolest most unique point of view of items from an area. Those are typically the store I always 'have' to go into when I'm visiting a new town.
ReplyDeleteLived in MEM my whole life and I have never gone! I love your pictures!! What camera do you use??

Everytime you post about Memphis, it makes me want to move there! Or at least visit it more often! That toy bridge is adorable! I love antique stuff.
ReplyDeleteI know it's a horrible reaction, but I totally LOLed that the robbery was real and commemorated in a mural!
ReplyDeleteLove the socks!

That is awesome! I wish I would've seen that when I was in Memphis!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been since I was a kid. I really need to take my kids one day. They would love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, only in Memphis... A mural of a lady getting robbed! Ha!
