Cottrell's Moving and Storage, Inc. is the type of place you've passed a million times but never entered. For one thing, it's often closed -- with no evening or Sunday hours, you have to plan ahead. But, once inside, you can find everything from antique ceramics to beds and bureaus. While some of the prices are inflated, others are more than reasonable ( I once carried home a very stylish orange lounge chair for a mere $30) so you might want to set your limit in advance.

A diverse selection antiques and collectables, plus a small selection of new and/or newer shelves and dressers. The staff is willing to cut a deal but that doesn't even take into account the many deals that await the lucky shopper. There are also higher end items and some old rugs.
