I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Ohio antique malls aren’t hard to come by, with our smallest towns and largest cities housing these treasure troves in droves. But an Ohio antique mall where you can grab a root beer float *and* play classic arcade games? That’s next level — and exactly what you’ll find when you visit Chillicothe Antique Emporium.
Chillicothe is a charming Ohio town located on the Scioto River, about 45 miles south of Columbus. It's home to a population of around 22,000, definitely qualifying it as a "big" little town, but you'll find a lot of small-town spirit here -- especially downtown.
Housing classic arcade games and an old-school soda shop, Chillicothe Antique Emporium is more than a mere antique shop; it's a bona fide Buckeye State day trip!
Grab a vinyl-covered stool at the ice cream counter and order a root beer float or milkshake, or, if you're in the 21-and-up crowd, an adult-spiked libation!
Sweet tooth satisfied, pick your favorite form of old-school entertainment. They have pinball games, arcade games, and a couple sit-down arcade games. The best part? Most only cost 25 cents a game!
Antique malls are the kinds of places you expect to find a little bit of everything. But an antique mall with vintage arcade games and an old-school soda shop?
What’s your favorite Ohio antique mall to browse? We guarantee you’ve never been to an antique store like Chillicothe Antique Emporium before!
