Antiquing has never really been my thing, unless, of course, I find something that really brings back great memories from my childhood.

Asbury Park's Cookman Avenue is the chock full of some of the coolest old stuff you've ever seen. From engraved lighters from the Vietnam war, to vintage girlie magazines to hundreds of old vinyl records and musical instruments. But I warn you: you go in to any of these amazing antique emporiums, be prepared to spend hours and hours looking at everything!

The thing that I found most interesting was the amazing array of old phones. If you're young, you're going to need to ask your parents what half of these things are. If you're old, you'll get a kick out of seeing some of these phones and picking out which ones you actually had in your home.

Either way, you've got to admit, they're all amazing in that retro-cool way.
