South Street in Philadelphia is known for its character – and Professor Ouch is definitely a character. He is obsessed with side show attractions and strange collectibles and he is one of the most interesting people I have ever met. You can spend hours looking at all of the tiny trinkets in his shop.
Here is my write up from phl17.com:
Professor Ouch’s Bizarre Bazaar & Odditorium is a curiosities shop in Philadelphia dedicated to strange collectibles, antique goodies, vintage music and publications, and so much more. You have to visit to believe how much stuff can actually fit into this cozy South Street storefront. But the most interesting of everything you will find in the shop might be the owner of the Bizarre Bazaar & Odditorium, Professor Ouch. He is a wealth of knowledge regarding anything “esoteric,” including (but not limited to) his passion for side shows. His Great American Odditorium is located in a teeny tiny room in the back of the store – and is his own collection of props and collectibles similar to the attractions you would see at side shows. The items in the Odditorium aren’t for sale, but after taking a tour, you will be walking away with an experience that money can’t buy.
You can find Professor Ouch’s Bizarre Bazaar & Odditorium at 720 S 5th St, Philadelphia, PA 19146.
