I purchased two items at full price and made an offer on an item I was sure wouldn't sell unless I bought it. The woman with the long grey hair just responded with, "10% off if you pay with cash". That's standard practice in EVERY antique mall in America and not what I was even asking. I inquired about 20% off the item and she didn't bother to call the dealer to ask (perhaps she was the dealer, not sure?). Either way, prices are apparently non-negotiable here. It sucks that beautiful piece will languish there forever. On a positive note, I like that they have a separate building for primitives so I can easily avoid them. Overall it's worth a stop, but I expected better quality items from an "antique capital".

We heard lots of good things about Longstreet and decided to visit ourselves…read more We recently ordered a living room set from another store and have been waiting months for it to arrive. After multiple delays, we decided to see what other options were out there. Enter Longstreet Living. We were politely greeted several times by every employee that passed by. Every one made sure we were taken care of. We were pleasantly surprised to find a living room outfit we liked better than the one we ordered. The style, the fabric, the quality and the price, were all perfect. After waiting months for our previously ordered living room set, we thought this new set was worth asking a out . Our salesman understood our dilemma and was willing to sell us the display model to help our situation. Luckily enough there was a second set still boxed up in the back. We opted to have the furniture delivered the following week for a small additional fee. After completing the paperwork, we headed for home. Along the way we discussed what we needed to do to cancel the previous order from the chain store. We hadn't made it halfway home when we got a call from Longstreet. Our salesman wondered if we were heading straight home and offered to deliver the furniture today. He actually said he thought I might like to watch the game this weekend on my new couch, and wondered if we would be around for the delivery!! After waiting months for our previously ordered set, with no delivery in sight, this was a huge surprise. The way all the other stores were delaying deliveries, we never expected to have furniture for a while. Longstreet made new friends that day. I'm definitely going back for a bedroom outfit.

We did it on our own. Inside the building, there are about 20 small enclosures for things like a bearded dragon or a snake. Then you go out the back of the building and follow the route. There are outside enclosures for tortoises, several different types of alligators, and a couple of observation deck. There's a building that has caimans in it. Takes about an hour to see the whole thing if you pace it. Some people go faster. There's the opportunity to buy food and feed selected crocodiles. They seem to like raw hot dogs! Helpful staff.

Driving east on I-80, we started seeing fireworks stand signs shortly before the merge with the…read moreIndiana Tollway. My 12 year old got excited but we missed the turn and I thought we were done... till we ended up spending the night in Fremont which has a Shelton location. Their sign said was the world's largest fireworks store and I have no basis for comparison, but I would not want to be in there if someone lit a cigarette. We got a boxed assortment for $55 or so and added some bottle rockets and a big rocket, then the proprietress threw in a "grand finale" which was one of the cake type displays with multiple holes and a fuse that makes them go off in sequence. Last night, hopefully safe in the sand on a lake in upstate NY, we finally shot them off. There was only one semi-dud in 20 or so items. The favorites were the mortars... little balls with long fuses that you shoot out of a tube to get a nice display at about 30 feet... and the various cake types. The big rocket was perfect to start it all. Fountain types were the least impressive. There were no instructions and I'd never done this before so I peeled back the cellophane and exposed the fuses for better burning, maybe this contributed to the high success ratio. Much enjoyment by the assembled children and adults and with cautious adult lighting I did not feel unsafe. A friend from Jersey asked me how much I'd paid and told me he would pay over $100 for the same assortment going across the border into PA. So go to eastern Indiana, assuming you have some other reason to do so. (Maybe to visit the RV Hall of Fame which is just down the road in Elkhart?)
