I was in search of a local, small business to sell my mother's record collection. Yelp led me to…read moreJerk Dog Records. The shop is tucked away down an alley in the beautiful Bradenton Arts District. Parking was easy despite it being a busy area. I didn't have much time to peruse the store's offerings but I loved the vibe and am looking forward to returning to shop. I didn't have an appointment but was welcomed anyway, I dropped off my records to be assessed and was told I'd hear from the owner. Only a few hours later I got a text from Doug with an offer! So easy and am so glad the records will be rehomed and enjoyed by someone else. Thank you Jerk Dog!

I purchased and paid for a vintaged toy trucks lot from Dawson Reynolds on Facebook Market Place…read moreand never received them. I contacted him and he claimed they where shipped to an eBay customer by mistake and that the package was in route to his home. He told me that he would ship them right back out to me. Once again, not receiving the vintage trucks, I reached back out to Dawson Vintage. It took some time but when he did reach back out to me, he told me that "his father had passed away and he was out of town making funeral arrangements". He promised that he would ship the trucks out as soon as he returned home, even claiming he would video tape the whole process. He also said that he would send additional pieces for my trouble. Stating, "I don't know if I would've been so understanding" To wrap it up, I never received the trucks nor a refund of my hard earned $250 and he stopped responding to me on Facebook Market Place. Not a person/business you can trust. Its truly a shame.

A great little shop crammed full of vintage and antique goodies. Glassware, antique bottles, sports…read morememorabilia, liquor advertisements, medicine bottles/tins, etc. Owner is nice and does negotiate on price. Only reason for 4 stars versus 5 is no air conditioning, so building gets hot at times. Unfortunately they are going out of business due to the property being sold, which is a shame. Best wishes to the owner in their future endeavors.

This a much larger antique store then I expected full with lots of items for adults and young…read moreadults. The service is pretty good and value for the items is reasonable, there is a lot of action figures and transformers here they also have a room with pokemon and sport cards. This is probably one of the better antique stores in the area with a lot to look at and if you are in to Star wars and other superheroe stuff these is the place to visit. Only down side to these place is that it is very hot inside with only a few fans running around the building but you can easily get lost here and spend all day looking. Parking here is very easy and there is plenty of space,this antique store looks like a farm house but it has tons to look so have plenty of time to look.

I felt that items were fairly priced, and was very pleased with this selection of goods, the ladies that worked at the register held items as you continued shopping, which was really helpful. I was quite surprised at how large the space really was. Definitely worth the ride.

This is one of those places - a genuine throwback that does it right . Great and varied selection - and fairly priced too. A treasure on a great little street for sure .

Nice small shop, not a lot of inventory but I managed to find a piece of rolling stock. Has a shelf layout on one of the walls. It was not operating but owner said I could run trains if I wanted to. My wife was waiting in the car so I kindly responded I better not start. The owner was very friendly and said they really catered to the kids. That's very comforting because I fear the hobby is dying with us old guys. I always enjoy looking at other layouts as you can get great ideas. Like I have a 9ft area the I need to look like a retaining wall, guess what, the had one, not 9ft but a long one. Best part they sold material I can use to build it. Plenty of parking and always worth a stop.
