Hick's Kind of Furniture Store

The Pony took some pictures while at the furniture store with Hick, buying his couch, mattress, fridge, and washer/dryer. I guess it was while Hick was dickering with the salesman, or before they were accosted by a salesman.

This is Hick's kind of furniture store. They have assorted collectibles to take your mind off how much money you're about to drop. Last time we were there, buying our recliner, they also offered free popcorn and soda. It's the largest furniture store in the area, so we have shopped there often.

 
This is the feature that most impressed The Pony. The faucet pouring water out of nowhere. He also liked the deep sea diver.

 
There was also a ship in that indoor body of water supplied by the faucet from nowhere.

 
The canoe is high and dry, though! It was there before the nowhere-faucet-made lake.

 
For the landlubbers who are more athletically inclined, there's a gold bicycle.

 
And for all the Hicksters, there's an old gas pump. Hick loves that kind of memorabilia. Maybe it has something to do with his first job at 14, working at a gas station for all the candy and soda he could consume.

If Hick had a building that large, he would probably set up something like this. Oh, wait. Hick has TWO buildings that large when combined. With nothing in them for sale.

  1. So, it not Shanty Town, but Hick's Museum of Junk?

    1. Hick's Shackytown and Hick's Double-Building Junk Emporium have separate entrance fees at this off-road-side attraction!

    1. It's one of the most "exciting" places in the Backroads area. Along with the abandoned lead mine where Jacques Cousteau once explored and filmed. Not much to do around here.

  3. What a great place! I want to go there and rummage around for, oh, six weeks or so. It's been far too long since I went anywhere near a secondhand store.

    1. They only sell firsthand here, but the collectibles are an interesting attraction. I imagine they would sell them too, for the right price!
