Old Town Emporium in Albuquerque, NM
The Old Town Emporium is a store to entertain and satisfy even the most ardent of shoppers. Located in San Felipe Plaza in the historic old town, the Emporium is the ultimate in one-stop shopping and has been since the building was turned into a shop during the 1960s. Among other items the Emporium stocks a wide range of T-shirts and other clothing accessories such as socks, sandals, moccasins, hats and baseball caps, Christmas ornaments, authentic Indian blankets and dream catchers, puzzles for both adults and children, Route 66 memorabilia and a huge range of gift ideas such as jewelry, clocks, hand painted pony figurines and artworks.
The old building has an inviting atmosphere with its colorful doors and window frames and has long since been a popular place for tourists to buy the best Southern arts at decent prices.
As well as attracting visitors with its huge range of items, the Old Town Emporium is also reputed to have a supernatural inhabitant and a number of odd occurrences frequently startle staff and visitors alike. Many people have reported alarms going off for no apparent reason, the door chimes ringing with nobody there, stock flying off shelves and T-shirt falling on the floor and even the radio changing station all by itself! Nobody knows whether the Emporium has a resident ghost or not but it may be worth a visit just to see if you feel the presence that hundreds of people have already reported feeling when they walk into the beautiful old building.
