    Jason’s Pawn Shop
    Unlike what you see on reality TV, most pawn shops are unsexy, low-rent places selling used lawnmowers, roofing tools and stolen car stereos.

    Unlike what you see on reality TV, most pawn shops are unsexy, low-rent places selling used lawnmowers, roofing tools and stolen car stereos. Jason’s Pawn Shop, on the other hand, usually has an interesting array of guy stuff, from turntables to antique cameras and old radios to vintage guitars. It’s a small store, so it makes the shelf space count by only displaying cool shit like high-end mountain bikes and reel-to-reel players. Look elsewhere for that second-hand microwave. 2104 N. Decatur Road, Decatur. 404-636-1731. less...

    It’s ironic that, at a time when pawnshops have become more popular with the cash-strapped masses, the merchandise they typically carry is less interesting than ever. Not so at JASON’S PAWN SHOP near Emory, where they seem to favor weird and unique items over the usual PlayStations and power drills. It’s a small space, but there’s usually a mix of esoteric stereo equipment, vintage knives, guitar amps, unusual electronic devices and outright antiques. 2104 N. Decatur Road. 404-636-1731. less...

His store is small, but it’s always stocked with unusual items, such as photo enlargers, scuba gear, 16mm movie cameras, a large collection of antiques and curios and, at last visit, a vintage Fender Rhodes keyboard that makes you wonder if Gregg Allman needed some quick cash. less...
