This place is SO rad!…read more Visiting my hometown this month, I am hearing about and discovering so many new cool independent businesses. The Electric Crocodile is THE best vintage store though - from clothing to games to decor to collectibles to keepsakes. This store is like a choose your own adventure through fabulousness. Mom and I stopped in last weekend, experiencing a fun, friendly staff and seeing so many deals on stylish clothes, potential home decor from past iconic eras, and just fun stuff. Some of what I saw - Garbage Pail Kids cards, Star Wars figurines, gems, 60's & 70's & 80's clothing pieces in great condition, and unique candlesticks and art. And an energetic cat is the unofficial store keeper. Can't wait to go back for a few hours soon to decide on what to purchase first!

"WOW -- WHAT a DIFFERENCE! CrocBuster Video!"…read more *FYI: I'm always on the lookout for stores in the CHA-area that sell "old-school" physical media, as I run a film series at a local arts center that relies on it for projection. I found CrocBuster purely through a fluke -- I asked Google for "dvd / video stores" near me (not expecting much of anything), but I was so pleasantly surprised -- This isn't a STORE, it's an EXPERIENCE! -- a virtual MAZE from one cool "fan-niche cubby hole" to another -- original Star Wars toys, all types of "retro kid stuff" that will bring back many a happy memory, as well as both new & used vinyl LPs, TONS of collectable VHS (Disney clamshells, etc.) and all kinds of tchotchkes and gewgaws you didn't even know existed. (The video online really doesn't do it justice -- you just have to experience it.) I had some old DVDs & VHS tapes in my car that I was hoping to unload (again, not expecting much), only to be so pleasantly surprised. The manager, Paul, turned my two boxes around in a hurry while I shopped. (Both Paul and his wife Michelle and all of the staff were very, very welcoming and helpful in a most genuine way. Michelle gave me a tour of their massive store.) I ended up using my $60 of credit (and then some!) ** Oh, prices are very reasonable, btw. Will definitely be back in the near future. Can't recommend enough -- check it out! *** p,s,: If you have a LARGE amount to trade, call ahead or contact them on Facebook to arrange a good time to bring it by. -- thx!

If you love treasure hunting, you have to stop at Grumpy's Antiques in Tunnel Hill! This place is…read morethe real deal -- packed (and I mean packed) with unique vintage finds, charming collectibles, and one-of-a-kind pieces you won't see anywhere else. What really stood out to me was how friendly and welcoming the owners were. They make you feel like an old friend the minute you walk through the door. They know their inventory, they know their history, and they clearly love sharing their passion with customers. I also appreciated how fair the prices were. It's one of those rare places where you leave feeling like you got a great deal and supported a small local business at the same time. Whether you're an antique lover or just enjoy browsing fun, quirky shops, Grumpy's is absolutely worth checking out. I can't wait to stop in again the next time I'm in the area!

We stopped here to waste some time and we were so glad we did! Besides the dude at the counter…read moretalking his jaws on the phone not acknowledging anybody coming in. We scrolled around the whole store for about 1.5hr and picked up some things that we didn't know we needed. Even my younger nieces really liked it. Lots of different items from different folks. We will definitely be back!
