You know those places that make you smile before you even get out of the car? The Pink Elephant…read moreAntique Mall is one of those places. My brother and I stopped during a Route 66 road trip expecting to grab lunch, browse a few antique booths, and continue on to St. Louis. Four hours later, we were still there. The giant pink elephant and fiberglass figures outside immediately grab your attention, but that's only the beginning. Inside the former Livingston High School, you'll find 30,000 square feet of antiques, collectibles, vintage treasures, Route 66 memorabilia, toys, advertising signs, home décor, and enough nostalgia to keep you wandering for hours. One of my favorite things about Pink Elephant is that it appeals to far more than antique shoppers. Even if you don't buy a thing, there are countless photo opportunities, fun roadside attractions, a retro diner, and a fantastic candy and fudge shop. We had lunch at the Twistee Treat Diner, where I enjoyed a burger, onion rings, and a salted caramel milkshake that was worth every calorie. The diner has a fun retro vibe and was packed during our visit. Before leaving, we stopped by the Mother Road Fudge Factory and Candy Shop. The homemade fudge was fresh, creamy, and some of the best I've ever tasted. What truly makes this place special, though, is the Pickerill family. Owners Tonia and Wayne clearly love what they do. Their enthusiasm, friendliness, and passion for creating a memorable experience are evident throughout the property. You can tell they genuinely enjoy meeting travelers and sharing this unique Route 66 destination with others. As a photographer, I left with over 100 photos. As a traveler, I left with great memories. As a Route 66 enthusiast, I left knowing this is a stop I'll recommend to everyone. Whether you're traveling Route 66, looking for a fun family outing, searching for antiques, craving homemade fudge, or simply want a memorable roadside adventure, Pink Elephant Antique Mall is absolutely worth the stop. My advice? Allow much more time than you think you'll need.

If you are on the historic Route 66 and see a pink elephant on the horizon, you are not drunk or…read morehallucinating. In addition to the elephant, you'll see a tall Trump, Ken doll and Alvin & the Chipmunks. Plus, the Red Barons plane, Shoney's Big Boy, a huge globe and two vintage police cars. It's junky, but don't let that discourage you from entering the mall. Once you walk past a miniature Lincoln Memorial and enter the mall, you will be overwhelmed. There will be aisle after aisle of shelves filled with clutter and treasures. You'll have to be patient to look beyond all the clutter to find those hidden treasures. I have no patience, so went into the other room and did all my shopping there. In the room to the right, you'll find fudge, mugs, caps, stickers, magnets and bulk candy. You know, all the typical souvenir junk. It was a fun area to browse after dining next door at, Twistee Treat Diner. I wear a lot of caps and found a Route 66 themed one to wear while we all celebrate its centennial. I also got a couple Route 66 lapel pins to add to my collection. I meant to buy a Route 66 mug, but I set it down to look at another item and forgot to pick it up, again. I'm bummed, I really liked the mug. The service in the mall retail area was not as good as at the diner next door. It was still decent, but it was minimal at best. The young girl who rang me out was on her cell phone when I walked up to the register. She laid it down to process my sale and I could see that she was face timing with a gentleman. She didn't even hang-up, she just had him wait. Beware, the mall is very MAGA and they do not hide it. If that bothers you or if you prefer not to support a MAGA business, you may want to skip shopping here.

Every kind of Ribbon you could possibly want; think Halloween, Christmas, Easter and every kind in-between. They have lovely wreaths for your front door and beautiful faux flower arrangements. On the top floor is an area for classes. I'm not sure exactly what kind of classes they offer, but give them a call if you are interested. The lady at the front desk was super nice and I'm sure she would love to answer any questions. Welcome "Waterman's Loft" to Maryville. I hope you do well.

I've been going to Town and Country Crossing for years. I was first introduced as a volunteer,…read moreworking the events for an animal rescue. In turn this hipped me on to Three Dog Bakery, which I loved and my golden loved as well. I hate that Three Dog Bakery closed. The Crossing has changed over the years. I have attended several Easter Egg Hunts and Trick-Or-Treating events with my golden, soooo much fun!! I miss walking around to the various shops with my fur-baby trick-or-treating and sitting out in the grass getting ready for fur-baby activities. The Crossing offers a nice variety of shopping options and eateries, ranging from Whole Foods, Target, Copper'S Hawk Winery, First Watch and more!!! There is of course ample parking, just be careful because it is usually busy. They keep the area well maintained and offer plenty of lighting. There is a area in the front as you are entering into the complex from the four-way stop light that boast a lovely lake. Often times you're able to see the geese walking around. I like how spacious The Crossing is, it allows you to park and just walk from shop to shop.
