There's a place here in downtown Norfolk that has some really cool mid-century modern furniture. It's by appointment only (even before recent events) and their prices are beyond ridiculous. I went once a couple years ago and haven't been back since. They had a Burke 115 chair that I really wanted. It's what the Star Trek TOS bridge chairs are based off of. $8k. For one.
I still try to look for estate and yard sales for mid-mod stuff, but I've never been that lucky. Thinking back to all the stuff we threw away in the 80s when redoing Grandpa's Florida house is depressing.
