Granny's Nooks and Crannys is a home-based business in Davis with a strong small-town feel to their presentation. It is located in what looks like a residential home across the street from the Olive Drive Market and the The Lexington Apartments. It's vaguely reminiscent of a yard sale which your grandmother might hold, but with a giant hand-painted sign on permanent display. Granny's sells interesting and hard-to-find antiques and collectibles and also sells through eBay. The prices are in-line with what hard-to-find and sought-after collectables tend to run.

2007-01-19 05:39:56 Where do you get such comments, as "it's kind of like a yard sale"? It's a very intriguing shop with an overwhelming number of one-of-a-kind items, especially the kind of things people collect. In no way does it resemble any yard sale I've ever been to, which is to say that it's a rather obvious misnomer. Or why such a snide remark as, "whenever grandma is up"? The OPEN flag is out when the shop is open. People should expect some real attempt at accuracy when they consult Wiki about places in Davis, which will make it a very excellent resource. In short, malicious people should not be allowed to enter data into Wiki, or Wiki will eventually be discredited as a site where people just express their petty opinions instead of facts. Note that the not-so-bright person who decided to list the shop could not even get the name of the shop right. CTR. —ColemanRandall

Those comments stand because nobody else knows more. I can't correct it because for all I know, the proprietor actually says "whenever Grandma is up" when asked for her hours. If you know more about the store, please don't complain about the wrong information, simply correct it. It's clear that not many people know much (one of the two comments is "Wish there was more info"), so please add what you know. In the absence of any real information, poorly informed opinion will always fill the void... that has nothing to do with the wiki and is purely a function of human behavior. All you added in your comment was opinion, no expansion or additional information about the actual subject (other than the correction of the name, for which I thank you — I've renamed the entry). —JabberWokky
Would you prefer the hours be changed to "whenever the open flag is out"? —TravisGrathwell
Jesus CTR, and JabberWokky is the malicious one? —ChrisWaterstraat

2007-01-19 13:48:22 The owner makes most of her business by selling on eBay, thats why she can be open whenever she wants. —MyaBrn

2007-02-15 09:24:58 The lady is sort of nice. She panics if you bring in small children. No wonder because the place is so full of stuff its hard to move around. For being so cluttered she seems to know where certain things are. —MyaBrn

2008-06-12 10:38:29 A lot of really racist items here, and the whole atmosphere is creepy. —elizalee
