'We plan to stay': A year since Tollbooth Antiques fire, the eccentric Columbia shop has made a comeback | Local Business | lancasteronline.com

It took owners David and Sue Doolittle only two weeks to start selling again after Tollbooth Antiques, a warehouse complex in Columbia Borough, partially burned to the ground almost a year ago today.

Tollbooth's owners and vendors say that's part of why customers continue to discover, for the first time, that the store is open for business.

Inside an unsuspecting 10,000-square-foot warehouse, aisles of eccentric objects await discovery.
