With a name like Strange Cargo, the store's destined to be a bit different. Living up to its name, the shop sells an assortment of affordable, kitschy items -- everything from predictable souvenir fare to funky art novelties -- that would look foolish in a more uptight store. For an instant mood-lifter, take time to browse the shop's unusual collection; after all, it's not everyday you find toasters with famous faces on them, pink feather boas and Elvis magnets all under one roof.
