By Deanne Lowenstein Looking for that hidden treasure or priceless antique? Then look no further. The Lodi area has a variety of shops specializing in antiques and collectibles. Simply take a stroll in downtown Lodi and the avid collector or beginner shopper is bound to find a bountiful, of shops. A new addition to the downtown area is the Immigrant’s Corner.

Walking into the Vanderlans’ new facility, one would never guess that it was once an automotive shop. They did however keep some things the same. “We were able to keep the stunning open beam ceiling in tact and the office area from the garage days,” Mimmi Vanderlans said. “We were even able to restore the old neon lights that have hung from the rafters for years.” The Immigrant’s Corner — 230 S.
