Yeah, I skipped the architecture and all the cool churches, old buildings, because - really - that's been done a thousand times and a lot better than what I would do.

But - below, a few of the things that interested me:

An old book store, "Rare and Ancient Treasures". How could I not fall in love with this?

To be fair, Nelson punches well above it's weight for used bookstores. 

A fine mix of antiques and new reproductions. Some cool brass compasses. Passed by this a few times, never found it open.

Colorful shop. Suspect they supply shoes to drag queens (judging by the window display...)

Appreciate the aesthetic, nothing I'd want.

Hair & Nail Salon. Posh, posh.

Another cool junk shop. Not open. 

for you, Ms. N

Aptly named. Metal-detectorist type stuff.

Hmmm...

&, finally, a sampling of treasures I didn't buy but found in a thrift shop in Scarborough.

The floor lamp, marble & bronze, original shade, $50.00!!! And there were other things here as well, only I don't want to bore you. If I had a truck it'd be worth the trip!
