Digging for treasures at flea markets and antique stores is an adventure that can last from a couple of hours to all day and at Poor Charlies in New Bern, the latter is more the case.

Located on Hancock Street in the charming historic district of New Bern, Poor Charlies is believed by some to be the second oldest business in New Bern (population, about 30,000).
