A really fun daytrip is a stop at Scavengers Antiques, located on the west side of Panama City, on Highway 98. It is 16.8 miles east of Hwy. 283 and Hwy. 98 intersection, on the north side of the highway in a maroon barn. Scavenger's is a huge barn housing room after room of vintage collection items, many of them beach and nautical oriented. I could have spent the entire day there. Found a grayt 1950s ceramic lamp with a shade made of decoupage antique postcards from Panama City Beach, circa 1940s. Perfect for our kitschy Maui nannies' room. Also, two lifeguard chair lamps for our kids' bunk room. And they offer these really nice wooden Adirondack chairs, chaise footrests, tables, and benches, can be painted in any color you want. We picked up a bunch of teeny Adirondack chairs for the wee ones...sooo cute! Very good prices. Two extremely nice guys with a good eye at all the local yard sales. This is a funn way to spend the day, end up at Captain Andersons for a cold martini and some grouper fillets. You can get a combo plate of the grouper fillets with oysters or scallops if you ask nicely (not on the menu). :rofl:

Better hurry up. I think they're selling. Would be a great place for a good souvenier of sowal.

Hope they stay open until October...I smell a road trip!!!!
Donna, GoToTheBeachMom told me about that place last October. It's wonderful!! There's a nice selection of antiques there in addition to all the beachy stuff you just can't do without. I bought a pink depression era glass citrus juicer. It's really small, perfect for juicing those Key Limes that aren't much bigger than walnuts.
What's this you say about it closing? If that's the case, I think I'll need to drag peapod and jdarg over there when we're down at the beach next month!

Scavengers isn't closing, but they might move to Destin. I asked Michael and Joseph about this, specifically. I guess they are waiting to see what happens with the rent and a lease renewal, so it's uncertain. But the move to the Destin area was the alternative and that brings them closer to us (but without the Captain Anderson's grouper fillets as bonus).
Yes, Miss Kitty, either revenue a fine roadtrip! :clap_1:

There is a place in Panama City around the 231 and 98 area. This is a tan wood building, two floors with a huge praying mantis on the roof and all the fish hanging on the side of the building? This place we have been in two years in a row is somewhere up that way and has big bird houses hanging outside on the trees, faces on the trees, bird baths, and other concrete lawn ornaments, and inside the building is a really bizarre mixture of nautical and non-nautical things. Plus more stuff upstairs and maybe another building. I took several pictures inside and outside the place last year if it is the same place. Do not want it to close because I was going back in there when we are down in September and was going to buy something in there. There is a old red phone booth outside also. Not sure it is the same place though. Loved that place! If not, if anyone knows the name of that place could they let me know, that is if it has a name! Will put some pictures on the photo gallery. Thanks.
