Here is Caplan’s department store in Ellicot City. It’s not really so much of a department store anymore but rather more of an “antique” shop, much like everything else in Ellicot City. When I was a kid, the first time I went to Ellicot City, I thought it was pretty neat. Then my parents repeatedly dragged me there in search of mugs or plates or other such used items as can be found at a bargain price in Ellicot city. Of course there were cool things to be found too, like license plates and old tools and ….um…… license plates, which were entirely too scarce in the shops.
Now I’m older and I think Ellicot City is a pretty nice place to walk around and maybe grab some food, (not to mention its interesting railroad heritage) but I leave the antique stores alone.
