Cherokee Lamp Historic Distric Antique Row

We heard about the Cherokee District upon moving to the St. Louis area, and sadly it took us several years to make the time to visit. Unfortunately we were very disappointed; everything was incredibly overpriced and several of the retailers even laughed that they can make way more money off ebay than they ever could an actual customer in their store. Also, the presence of barred stores is quite intimidating.

The previous reviewer was right about visiting here after 5 p.m. - it is a little scary during the daytime, and even the shop owners will tell you to be very cautious walking around. The antiques are fantastic but there are no 'bargains' to be had here; many of the shop owners commented that due to ebay, they are able to 'hold out' for bigger prices. Not being a 'collector' myself but someone who enjoys pretty pieces for my home at an affordable price, I left Cherokee with nothing in my car. Worth checking into but be careful!

This place is a ton of history. you will find something for everyone. There is a ton of antiques. Dont go there after 5pm it gets a little scary down there but it is a very neat place almost like being in another town. Bring your checkbooks and credit cards yo uwill be spending you money for sure.
