Antiquing can be an exhausting hobby as customers travel from one shop
to another in search of that special, hard-to-find item. A solution to antiqu-
ing fatigue is to locate a dealer that offers a wide variety of excellent choices all
under one roof. Repeat Best of Fayetteville winner The Pickin' Coop is just such
a business.
It may look small on the outside, but The Pickin' Coop is home to some 30
vendors, each in their own booth. They offer everything from antiques to gifts to
painted furniture and a variety of vintage collectibles.
The owners of The Pickin' Coop call Fayetteville home and are active sup-
porters of other local businesses. For all antiquers looking for that special find,
take along some friends and spend a leisurely afternoon with a single stop to
The Pickin' Coop.

2ND & CHARLES is rapidly becoming
a local dynasty in the book world. For a
sixth time, the readers of Up & Coming
Weekly have rated this Skibo Road busi-
ness the place to find the best in used
books.
The atmosphere at 2ND & CHARLES
goes way beyond just another bookstore.
There's a strong sense of community
within its walls. All readers, regardless
of age, hobby, passion or title, can find
a book of interest, and maybe a kindred
spirit, amongst its shelves.
There are two goals common to most
book readers. First is finding a great new
book. Second is getting it at a competi-
tive price. Those are exactly the kinds
of finds available at 2ND & CHARLES.
The staff are eager to work with custom-
ers in the buying, selling and trading of
all manner of lightly used books — plus
some other goodies, too. The inventory,
in addition to fiction and nonfiction
hardcovers and paperbacks, includes comic books, CDs, vinyl records, video
game consoles, electronics, movies and video games. There's also an occasional
free book bin.
2ND & CHARLES customers have been extremely supportive over the years.
Fans of the business have come to the store to take part in pop culture events,
game nights, cosplay, the gaming arena and activities for children. There is
much more than books here. There's inspiration and experience.
