MARIETTA, Ga. – We love going treasure hunting here at Good Day Atlanta — and if you do, too, we have an “egg-cellent” suggestion for Easter weekend!

Cobb Antique Mall is one of metro Atlanta’s most popular spots for treasure-hunting, featuring 46,000 square feet of vintage goods including clothes, jewelry, furniture, art, collectibles, and more. 

The mall reopened last April following a makeover project, and owner Tracey Weber says vendors have seen record-setting sales in the year since. Weber and her sisters purchased Cobb Antique Mall back in 2010, growing the business to more than a hundred vendors and moving it to Marietta’s Piedmont Village in 2018. In the past year, Weber says strong interest in vintage fashion has led to a new vintage clothing section; she also says the retro gaming and sports collectibles markets are especially robust right now, and well-represented inside Cobb Antique Mall.

Regular Good Day Atlanta viewers will remember our visit last April (watch here), during which time we helped the owners and vendors celebrate the grand reopening by hiding prize-filled eggs in several booths. Well, the egg hunt was such a big hit with shoppers that it’s happening again this Easter weekend…and yes, a certain feature reporter was once again drafted to come lend a helping hand in planting those eggs around the store! This morning on Good Day, we helped hide five of the ten eggs (filled with gift cards valued at $25 to $100) for shoppers to hunt for on Saturday! Saturday, by the way, is the mall’s “Spring Eggs-Stravaganza,” and will also feature a sidewalk sale and donut truck onsite.

Cobb Antique Mall is located at 2800 Canton Road in Marietta, in the Piedmont Village Shopping Center. Regular hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays and Noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays. For more information on the mall, click here.

Apple turns 50 on April 1, and if you have ever owned an iPod,  Mac, or iPhone, there’s a good chance it’s inside a new exhibit opening on Apple’s birthday.

“Inspire: 50 Years of Innovation From Apple” opens Wednesday at the Mimms Museum of Technology and Art, and it’s packed with nearly 2,000 products and artifacts.

Inside the exhibit, Apple’s story comes to life.

For museum founders Lonnie and Karin Mimms, it’s a story they have been building for 40 years, collecting nearly every apple product ever created. 

But they don’t just want to show the world, they want to educate and inspire.

“We want people to come through these doors and to get an idea and say, okay, I’ve had an idea, I want to go do it,” said Karin Mimms.

Walk through and you see the evolution, starting with items owned by Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and their yearbooks.

“How did we get here? How did they start this company? They had a passion and we want to show that,” said Karin Mimms.

The artifacts date back to 1973, the oldest being the second check written to create the company.

Then there’s the products everyone knows and loves, from the “jelly bean” computer in every color, to every model of the iPod in every color.

The exhibit also intends to grow, featuring Apple’s latest products such the Vision Pro goggles.

The iPods are displayed across a wall, and it’s a big showstopper.

“Everybody loves this wall because if you’re of this era, you’ve had one of these at some point,” said Karin Mimms.

Every model lines up like a snapshot in time, in chronological order of creation, not only to tell a story, but to create new stories.

“When they leave here, it would be nice to think that you know in a dramatic case that some kid literally, you know, starts looking at what might end up being a career for them,” said Lonnie Mimms.
