    Toy Trip to Ventura

    Made the 1 1/2 hour drive this morning to a great collectible store in Ventura: Times Remembered; 6,400 sq feet of vintage nonsense.

    There are a bunch of great shops on Main St., where Times Remembered is on, so I found a Coffee/Gelato shop to get my snack on.

    Banana with Chocolate Chips Gelato and a Double Shot of Espresso.


    Made my way to Times Remembered.


    Saw some funny picture boards.










    Walked out with an AHI Spidey Buggy. Not sure if it's missing anything, but it looks cool.


    On my way out of the store, I came across this place:


    Disturbing paintings, a mummified mermaid and lots of "preserved" insects. That only begins to describe this wonderfully bizarre store. All of the artists are local, which I thought was cool. Picked up 2 pieces that will look great in my office at work:


    Went back to the Coffee/Gelato place to get my Wife something so she wont get pi$$ed off over the other purchases:


    Had to take a shot of the beach, being only a block North, before heading back home. What a fun day.

      Looks like a day well spent and a lot of fun! The Horror shop sounds a little creepy but man I'd love to look around in there.

          Times remembered megos are very overpriced!!!! For a naked Spidey, it'll run you about $60 bucks!!

              Funny, the kid that was getting the piece for me out of the glass case asked If I was the one that called earlier, asking about Azrak Hamway pieces.

                The signs were a hoot! And so very true.

                  Yes the signs were pretty funny, and who is/was the blonde on the first sign? smoking hottie.

                    Ha! She has a young Kathleen Turner look. She can insult my stupidity anytime.

                      That's who I talked to some teenage kid. I had him zipping around the whole store looking for AHI stuff.
