    Crown Surplus

    I took this image just because there was so much to look at. I waited a short while hoping the two cars would leave but when they didn't I captured what I could and moved on.

    I can see why you wanted to capture the shot, nice effort.

    I like the Russian plane (?) on the roof. 'Reminds me of a great movie called "Second Hand Lion"...

    Dave, that is the type of establishment that I could have spent hours, just perusing the "junk".

    This image would be a nice addition to a history piece on this town.

    I used to love surplus stores when they really had a lot of military surplus items. Now the few that remain locally seemed stocked mostly with Chinese imports.

    BTW Izzie... The Swastika on the tail of the plane was a symbol of Nazi Germany. I sincerely doubt though whether the actual plane (if it was a plane - not a mock-up) was German because this Swastika is a mirror image of the one that the Germans used. This is a clockwise (卍) Swastika and while the Nazi symbol was usually shown counterclockwise (卐). This clockwise swastika is actually a Hindu and a Buddhist symbol... How's that for some absolutely useless trivia
