Loved To Death on Main

The shop that anchored Science Channel's "Oddities: San Francisco" relocated to a historic Main Street storefront in the Sierra foothills — diaphonized rat skeletons, memento mori mourning cards, scorpions set in lucite, and antique taxidermy line the shelves.

The move: Browse the wet-specimen and mourning-jewelry cases together on a Thu–Sun afternoon, then walk Main Street on a 3rd-Saturday Art & Wine Walk when the shop pours alongside local wineries.
