For years, on our way back from the mountains, we took a little detour through Clinton, NC to visit this very old antique/junk store. We found all kinds of treasures there, then they closed. We have not been back in years. We decided to take a little ride through there coming home from Cherokee, last week. We found out the old fellow who owned the antique/junk shop died; someone has bought it and opened up again with lots of stuff to look at and behind them on the back street is another quaint little antique store. We so enjoyed them both and will visit again.
