So Many Huge Vintage Shops in One Place! | Antique Shop With Me

There's no missing this place, so how did we miss it for so long? Not many antique places are right by the confluence of two huge freeways, with a giant sign to boot! Chattanooga Tennessee's East Ridge is a long-established antique destination, and we're just starting our journeys there in this video.

East Town Antique Mall is our destination today, chosen because we found an amazing lamp there a very long time ago and hope that lightning could strike twice! It's a large, established mall at the center of this overgrown antique plaza, with so many great old things--and a few vintage pieces that are hot new collectibles.

An Eickholt paperweight from 1996 and Heisey Glass from 1896 vie for attention, while displays of banks and ashtrays, Rosemeade Pottery and some unusual coffee services offer great variety (Lenox decorated with butterflies...and spider webs?). Granny's rockin' uranium glass lamp, a 1950s drug rep swag piece by an unexpected maker and a crazy Victorian oyster juice bottle are fun and novel discoveries, not surprising in an antique mall I first visited in a prior century.

Heritage looms in Chattanooga, and our drive-through of the Chickamauga National Military Park gives a glimpse into a place whose bucolic face belies the carnage that took place here at one of the most strategic sites of the Civil War. We speak of the scarcity of things we see in the park, in the context of what they say about the people and circumstances of that horrific time.
