Photo Safari: Maine


Maine: America's Vacationland and the South of the North.

On a recent R&R getaway with the missus, we ran across this place: A road-side business involving a massive building, decades of rust, mold and splinters, and maybe seven or eight teeth.

American Pickers, you been served.


Is it a Barn? Or is it a Mall? BOTH?!?


Just a little "eye-candy" out front to entice the masses.


Out front signage: "Keep dogs in car. No shit."
We found it ironic that Elmer didn't want shit in his front yard!
Further Irony is that there is a toilet at the base of this sign.


The welcoming front doors to the "Antiques Mall" beckon one inside...
Like a giant Venus Flytrap!

Whilst meandering though the building, I snap a shot of some of the acres of "wares."
It was like a Tetanus Jamboree!


Another shot of things for sale here, this one taken from up one the third floor, I believe.


The "Folded Mermaid" sculpture was particularly telling about the contents of this mall.


An attempt to cash in on the huge "Second-Hand Mill-Stone Craze" that is apparently sweeping our nation's attic.
Incidentally, as I came around to take this shot, the "Creepy Screaming Stone Clown Face" scared the shit outta me!


A wide assortment of yard crap, and not a gnome in sight.


"You want totem poles? We got your totem poles right here! C'mon Down!"


Okay, I mock, but in fairness, I did buy something; this cool, old, black kettle and it goes perfectly in my kitchen.

Thank you, Elmer.

  2. No, it isn't, Jay.
    In fact, it looks as if the hand of God reached down, picked up this entire building, and shook it like a giant game of Boggle!
