Perhaps it's a coincidence, but I swear
there seems to be more and more flea markets springing up in and
around the Forsyth Missouri area. Whether by luck or in response to
tough economic times, these 'emporiums of nicknacks' provide a
valuable service. With many residents looking for bargains due to
restricted budgets, many of this stores offerings would make
wonderful gifts at a fraction of the cost if they were purchased in a
retail chain!
After I had a chance to talk with the
owners of the Kookoos Nest, I had a chance to wander around and to
look at all sorts of collectibles. They have a little bit of
everything to offer and one of the owners, Dino, told me that he was
always on the lookout to buy stuff for resale from individuals in the
community.
If you get a chance, please stop by and
look around. The store also maintain a web site at
www.kookoosnest.weebly.com
for anyone who's interested. Update: This location is closed!
