Joined Atlas Obscura in 2023

I have always loved the unusual , small places loved by locals and artists. Give me a crappy rental car and a cup of coffee and I'm on a great vacation. I have a vintage shop, so I love to travel places where I can find a weird junk shop or meet other pickers who know the best places to find broken, rusty, dusty vintage pieces that are ready for a second chapter in their story.
