Yinz Need To Check This Place Out!

I'm sorry. I have to do it. I just can't stay silent anymore.

GOT TO MILLER'S!

If you live anywhere near Pittsburgh, you have to go to E.N. Millers! It's this mind-blowing antique store on a dusty, run-down street in Verona, PA (just on the outskirts of Pittsburgh). I only found the place a couple of weeks ago and am aghast that it stayed hidden from me for so long!

Here's what I know about it:

E.N. Millers used to be a furniture store, sometime in the early 1900's. The furniture business was good until about twenty years ago when the now-owner's grandmother decided to do something crazy and turn the place into an antique mall.

"Nobody thought it would work," the owner told me, "but it turned out to be the best idea she ever had!"

E.N. Millers (or just plain "Miller's") was voted the Best Antique Store in Pittsburgh for five years running.... My question is: How can that be when so few people actually seem to know about it?

I'm sorry for ruining it for those of you who go there now and wanted to keep it a secret, but the rest of the population must experience this amazing Pittsburgh gem!

My story started when I was looking for a dining room table. My neighbor, a long time Penn Hills resident said casually, "Why don't you look at Millers?"

I had no idea what she was talking about. And when she said "antique" I suddenly saw dollar signs. Lots of them.

"Oh, no! It's not like that. You have to check it out," she insisted.

"But do they really have furniture? Or is it just a few small pieces?" I was still skeptical.

"You have to check it out," was all she could say.

And now I think I know why: Miller's is indescribable. It's three large floors of indescribable. There are big things and tiny things and so many things in between.

I went looking for a dining room table and determined, with three children in tow, that I would ONLY look for a dining room table. I had furniture tunnel vision. And there, on the third floor, amidst tapestry covered chairs, I found the most gorgeous table I had ever set eyes on. This was the table for me. I was in love.

I discovered later that I was not just in love with the table: I was in love with Millers. I bought my table but then I went back. And back again. Now I fantasize about going there on my free afternoons (which are practically non-existent, hence the fantasy). Millers is the kind of place a person can visit scores of times and still, the next time, find something she's never seen before.

Still skeptical? Here's what you should do: like their page on Facebook. The pictures they post will
make you mentally drool. So much amazingness in one place, it would be a shame to miss it, wouldn't it?

YES, IT WOULD. Now go! Go to Millers! Find something blissful!

Browse through the display windows--BE the display if you want! But don't hang around too long because everything is for sale and I'd worry that someone might come along and put a price tag on you. (Don't be fooled by this modest exterior--the interior will BLOW YOUR antique-loving MIND!)
