1. It's been a few years since I've been there, but a lot of the stores I remembered were gone.
2. Old Town Spring is not wheelchair friendly. There were ramps up to the shop porches, but then there was still a step or two to get into the shops. Also, the sidewalks were very uneven. I saw a woman pushing an older woman in a wheelchair. Not only was it difficult, but the lady in the wheelchair was really being bounced.
3. A shop selling Asian objects seemed out of place. We did enjoy their handwritten sign, though: "Camera We Watch You". Very nice.
4. Most of the shops seemed to be run by older women or gay men.
5. The main objective of the shops seemed to be to cram as much stuff as possible into them, with aisles barely wide enough for normal sized people. Between me and my large purse, I was a little nervous a few times! I think they do that so that can guarantee a "you break it, you bought it" sale!
6. Funnel cake is yummy!
7. You will not find Wal-Mart prices at Old Town Spring. But that's okay. I did get a metal scarecrow and some metal pumpkins, all on stakes and ready to be put in my front yard. And they were half price - which makes their price reasonable! But they are very cute - come by in November and you will see them.
8. A bubble machine can blow a random bubble over a block away!
9. I do not like street parking.
10. I like shopping with Kimberly!
There you go. My astute observations about Old Town Spring.

It's nearly impossible not to buy funnel cake once you smell it.
Funnel cake is to die for. And I get it two weekends in a row! Hurrah1
I was going to hang my tile thingy this evening, but shortly after you left I feel sound asleep on my couch, woke up briefly with a killer headache, crawled into bed, and woke fuzzy-edged at 8. Geez.
The older woman who ran the shops were either scary or crazy. I preferred the men, who answered phones with things like, "Why, hello sexy."
Yay, mother daughter shopping days!
Fried dough and lots of powdered sugar. What's not to love?!?
