For years, Jack Metzger has prowled the prowls and auctions of upstate New York and collected old and beautiful stuff, he had so much of it stored out back he called his business Jack’s Outback, it is one of the favored destinations on our little Main Street, people come to see Jack from all over the country.

There is always new stuff on his front porch, Jack is a generous and knowledgeable soul, he has also become an artist, taking what he calls “lost” artifiacts and turning them into beautiful sculptures and pieces. I love my Main Street, Jack’s is one of the reasons why. The inside of the store is crammed with wonderful old things, they hang from the ceilings.
