This was my 4th stop of the 5 I made while antiquing in SA last week. Well, let me say that I have been here before and liked this shop a lot, but this time around I was a bit disappointed. Some of the good dealers have left, leaving some of the booths either empty or kind of just filled with an odd mixture of stuff. I did find a few nice linens and pretty (but costly) jewelry. Overall though, I got to say that maybe time has caught up with this location. It and the help seemed a bit tired. I would stop here again as I realize that malls change over time from good to bad to good all over again.
Pros: lotsa parking!, clean and presentable, nice people
Cons: kind of depressing, not as good a selecti

the center for antiques is probably the finest antique mall i have ever visited. the 2 anchor dealers, max mendlovitz and louis marshall, offer the finest selection of antiques and art in the building. both firms are basically 'mom and pop' operations, but don't let that fool you...these are first class businesses all the way. i would place their respective shops, fan-tastic finds and marshall's brocante, right up there with some of the best shops in the country. other dealers like the respected hugh lackey and jean paris offer a+ crystal, china, collectibles, and silver. beth nixon's booth will leave you drooling on the countertops over the remarkable jewels to be found in her small yet stocked space. if you can overlook the occasional odd or ugly booth, i guarantee this place will be well worth the visit. AAA+++
Pros: quality a+, value a+, selection a+
Cons: occasional bad booth, sparse help available, a tired concept
