hog creek mall

We came down from southwestern Ontario to tour the antique malls in this area. We visited this one, the Capitol antique market, the Allen Antique Barn, and the Allen Antique Mall - these are all in Allen Michigan - we also drove about another hour & went to the Maumee Antique Mall which is close to Toledo OHIO. The Allen Antique Barn, the Capitol, and the Maumee 'antique malls' are really not that at all! The items there are primarily not antique, not vintage, not retro, etc. If you want dishes from the late 80's, M & M advertising placards from the 90's, etc, fine, you'd be in the right spot. I'm not an antique snob by any means, but I know stuff that should be at the Goodwill when I see it! BUT - the Hog Creek and the Allen Antique Malls were pretty good! Lots of vintage 50's rhinestone pins, 60's dishes, old books etc. In my area, we have the 4 antique malls within a 40 min drive, and while I'd say they all beat the ones in this part of the U.S., hands down, I can say with confidence that the Hog Creek & Allen Antique Malls are 85-90% as good.
