DOWNTOWN.   Located on historic Beale Street since 1876, this general store is a Memphis institution. The inventory includes everything from kitchen flatware to overalls and knick-knacks. Be sure to visit as you'll feel as if you have stepped back in time and are visiting the only store in a small town – especially if you deposit a nickel into the candy machine! Great place for purchasing souvenirs to take back to friends and family. You need to pay the old-fashioned way, too – no credit cards accepted!   (© 10Best)

A trip to this spot is like stepping back in time to what general stores used to be. Open since 1876, A. Schwab carries a true smattering of the oddest knicknacks you'll find anywhere–from plumbing supplies to Elvis paraphernalia. (from Southern Living)
