One of the mall's longest-running shops, and it shows...
Visit Shop 31, affectionately known as "Wally's World," where one of the mall's longest-running shop owners has built a sprawling collection of vintage tools, antique fishing gear, knives, and pure Americana. Woodworking enthusiasts will want to spend some serious time here. Rows of antique hand planes fill the front counter, alongside folding knives, pocket knives, and vintage lighters. A glowing Levi Strauss neon sign adds a splash of color to the shelves behind, where you'll find oil lamps, copper kettles, colorful art pottery, cast iron pieces, and a vintage typewriter tucked among the curiosities.
The fishing tackle collection is a standout. Vintage reels, hand-painted wooden lures in every color and size (including an oversized chartreuse muskie lure that's hard to miss), tackle boxes, and old fly rods fill an entire section. A playful "To Fish or Not to Fish? What a Stupid Question!" sign sets the tone. Up top, a black leather doctor's bag, a wooden Scotch crate, a carved wooden horse, and a carved wooden troll figure add character.
The Americana runs deep throughout. Look for a hand-painted Betsy Ross flag, military ammo cans, a leather rifle scabbard, a "Honda Motorcycle Parking Only" sign, vintage Matchbox car collector cases, old Monopoly games, a Benjamin air rifle box, antique cameras, vintage tin advertising signs for Texaco and Coca-Cola, and die-cast toy trucks and jeeps. Brooches, stamps, coins, and small collectibles fill the counters below. Shop 31 is the kind of place where every visit turns up something different, and that's exactly the point.
