There has been an antique mall and/or flea market at the current location of Ye Olde City for decades. Over the years, the property languished and lost much of its former charm. However, in April 2007, Bert and Robert Powell acquired the property from the Swann Estate. The Powells say a lot of time and effort has gone in to restoring the property to its former self and to creating an atmosphere of "old world charm."
Motorists are encouraged to avoid the area around the incident scene.
