• SHOPPING ON YOUR MIND? Not a problem,  we have what you are looking for. You will not find a Mall or a cookie-cutter “planned development” property. What you will find is a beautiful turn of the century neighborhood consisting of original brick streets and unique architecture. The Old Market is a dream destination for the shopper.  Everything you could be looking for and perhaps what you didn’t even know you wanted.  Beautiful high end apparel and hip vintage finds for men, women and children.  Shops full of housewares and furnishings that would put suburban stores to shame.  Music stores, flower shops, Antiques and Art Galleries. Fine jewelry stores with traditional pieces and opportunities to create your own designs.  You will find handbags and shoes that you just flipped over in this month’s fashion magazines.  Books, gifts, holiday ornaments and souvenirs. Enjoy shopping in a variety of boutiques. We cater to the serious shopper and the curious browser...365 days a year!
