It's been a while since I've posted anything on SoCal adventures and so for those of you interested in the hunt for treasures of the past, be it antique or mid-century modern, there are a couple of places the husband & I have checked out recently worth taking a look at. In Whittier, King Richard's Antique Mall, at 12301 Whittier Blvd, is California's largest antique center (as they claim), located inside an old citrus processing plant with 3 floors full of items. You will find reasonably priced items along with not so reasonable prices, but maybe you will find that special piece that speaks to you that you must have.
The other place we explored was Antique Row in Pomona, on 2nd St at Garey Ave. Unfortunately, this street has faded from the glory of its past with quite a few of the antique shops closed (with antiques still in them!), but there is one still worth checking out. The Antique Mart in the old Kress building is another 3 story structure, chock full of goods. And again, some great prices and other prices that will leave you scratching your head asking 'why.'
Happy hunting!
