The only antique place I can think of in our area is actually in Valley Junction in old West Des Moines. I bet if there were more there would be more shoppers. I guess the Brass Armadillo does count but I never go there. Maybe when I really retire I will go shopping. We are eating at Olive Garden tonight and lasagna is always on my order. L.
