It's a good thing I live in Johnson City or else I'd be in that store every day buying old magazines. I've been working my scanner hard as it is, I can only imagine what I'd do to it if I was in that joint all the time. I've got to be strong and limit my self to only one or two trips to the promised land a month.

I found my promised land during Holy Week
And it's on the top floor of the Haggle Shop antique store in Kingsport, TN. Check it out:
Yes people, those are stacks of old magazines from the '50's, '60's, '70's, '80's, and upwards on those tables. And there's three more just like them on the other side of the room. And all along the walls of that big room are filled shelves filled with all manner of cheesy paperbacks, old Time Life series books, kid's books, and more. But let's get back to the magazines for a moment. There's old copies of Time, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, Theatre Craft, True, Argosy, Life, Look, People, Sphere, Holiday, Modern Farmer, and many many many more. I bought a National Geographic from 1957 and a 1956 Argosy, which was an old men's general interest magazine, and I got them both for a buck each.
