As a kid, my family used to stop by The Fort Chiswell Factory Merchants Outlet in Wytheville, Virginia while passing through the area. There were never really any BIG stores there. I remember Bugle Boy, a book store, maybe a cooking store, etc. It's known for its orange roof. I've always been curious as to what happened to it and what kind of shape it is currently in. We decided to go explore and see what the outlet looks like now.

This past Saturday, December 13, we had the idea to go to Bowling Green, KY. We have passed through there before to go to Flea Land (which also has an antique market) and Bright's Antique World as well as a few others.
That being said, there were a few places we had not been to before, so that was the reasoning for our trip.
Our first stop was in Smiths Grove, KY right outside of Bowling Green. It was Hidden In The Grove Antiques. It's name really says everything about its location. This is a smaller antique store but one worth visiting. They have a small upstairs section as well.

Here's a quick walk-around tour of The Island in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
Entrance
Saturday, April 26, 2014
The Belz Mall in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee was never a hotspot. In the 90s and early 00s, the mall was home to liquidation stores, and by the mid 00s, it began to rapidly close most stores. I recently had a chance to go back and explore this mall, which is still open. During my visit they were in the midst of renovations. Very few stores remain. Since my visit, they have closed off one of the entrances and moved everything down to another entrance. I can't imagine this mall will be around much longer, but I have said that for quite some time now. Somehow, it continues to remain open.
