We have one dying strip mall in this town and my friends and I just go there to wonder the few open stores left. We don't by anything we just peruse the places, make small talk with the shop keepers, sit and chat about the closed down shops on the benches.
I also frequent the antique stores, and just look at the history thats brought in. Sometimes the store keeper drops by while you look and offer facts on some of the items.
They get me out of the house and keep my mind off work and they're sometimes more accommodating than a coffee shop.

I love getting lost in the aisles and looking at all the cool junk people have collected in their lifetime. This and estate sales scratch that itch to treasure hunt. I like the soft rock and oldies they play too :O) What's been the coolest thing y'all have found? Any store recs?

Antique shops have a special place in my heart because it reminds me of my childhood road trips. When I was little, I always thought antique shops were just useless junk. As I grew older, Iโve learned to appreciate the โjunkโ a bit more. Browsing through the aisles, they kind of feel like a time machine. My top things to look out for are vintage cameras, dutch ovens, and vintage porcelain.

Find happiness in the little things. Bask in the sun rise, take a moment to people watch grocery shopping or a cafe. Go on drives to nowhere in particular with your favorite playlist blasting. Read plays to a stuff animal audience and really dramatize the characters.

I read a book about volcanos growing up and that stuck with me for suck a long time, then i read my grandpas old astrology book and i very much remember how upset i was when they announced Pluto wasn't classified as a planet anymore and i was set to be the one to give Pluto back its title. Now ironically I study marine science, and im currently in school to now look at underwater volcanos and hydro thermal vents, which have some similar chemical components to that of what is in space so i guess it balanced out.
