| Anyone ever been to the UNCLAIMED BAGGAGE STORE in Alabama?? I was just wondering if anyone in the Alabama area has ever been to the Unclaimed Baggage Store there and if it is still open??? It's the store where all the lost unclaimed luggage from the airports go. I heard about it on the Oprah Winfrey show and I made a special trip there years ago and it was so neat!!! They had everything you could imagine! Louis Vuitton luggage, purses, jewelry, cool clothes, cameras, I mean everything! I want to go there again and was wondering if it's still open?

| Prices were very reasonable. I bought several things. Has been a while since I was there. There were a couple of shops across and down the road that we went into also. A lot of different stuff. I remember buying a blazer that still had the tag on it. Also got a necklace. It is unbelievable at the stuff. Everyday there are new items. |

| LOL!!! I KNOW!!! When I first heard about it on Oprah years ago, I got so excited and HAD to go there! It was a pretty long trip for us too but it was SOOOO fun! Herks Mom is right...you can spend DAYS in there! I'm surprised that it's not more widely known about!

| I heard about someone who got a diamond ring at a rock bottom price. I would love to go down there...I first read about it in Vogue about 6 years ago, they did a huge article on it. |
