November 13, 2007 -- ANTIQUE GALLERIA & CAFÉ GALLERIA

Collins, Mississippi has long been known as home to Rock ‘n Roll singer, Dale Houston, whose song "I’m Leaving It Up to You", hit number one in the charts in 1963. Collins is also birthplace of award winning actor Gerald McRaney, whose feature films and TV series credits include Simon and Simon, Major Dad, and most recently, HBO’s hit series Deadwood. Now, among many other attractions in Collins, is one of the South’s premier antique dealer showrooms, ANTIQUE GALLERIA.

“We have a 30,000 sq. ft., heated and air-conditioned facility, with approximately 90 dealers who offer a wide array of antiques, imports, collectables, Persian rugs, baby and children’s gifts, new & vintage jewelry, pottery, china and beautiful glassware,” said manager, Frieda Whiddon. “And, we can even arrange shipping of purchases for customers unable to take their purchases with them, such as, tour groups and travelers passing along the Highway 49 corridor.”

Complimenting Antique Galleria is Café Galleria. Glen Miller, owner of the restaurant, expounds, “Chef Zachary Walters and Chef Matthew Raphael, both graduates of the Culinary Institute of America, prepare exquisite cuisine and signature desserts. Café Galleria can expertly accommodate large parties and groups, in an atmosphere of art, antiques and elegance. Shop for a while, then sample our delicious food and desserts.”
