Odd Creations Junkett - Rome, New York

I haven't been there in a long time, but I use to go with my parents when I was a kid in the 90s. My parents bought me my first black light poster from there and I remember saving my allowance to buy a Godsmack hoodie. I think that's where I bought a Grateful Dead dancing bear beanie baby too. I really wanted one of the bigger, fluffier, GD dancing bears, but I could never convince my parents to buy me one. Dan was always a really nice guy. Really cool and down to earth. I have some pretty good memories of Odd Creations Junkett.

Excellent place to spend all day long watching for trinkets of all kind from around the globe if not higher. The best place to spend all day searching for exactly what you need exactly what you wanted or a greatest gift very unique gift for somebody or someone you love I guarantee they will like the gift no matter what because eve everything is unique in this store. There are drinking it smoking vibes. There are incense oil and much much more for any person. Any kinds of gifts. Any occasion any style. Mostly proper age audience. The owner is a very respectful very caring about your needs man. That will answer any questions you have. I am sure he is secretly a healer. I think him for taking a product I was looking for along time.

While on a trip to Rome, My mom, who grew up nearby, suddenly remembered the name Odd Creations Junkett from back in the 70’s. Something triggered the memory, although she had never actually been. We were amazed when a quick google revealed that the place still existed. The very next day we sped over there to finally experience it after 50 years. Mind blown. I’ve seen some offbeat shops in my travels, but this one might take the cake. If you know you know. If you don’t, I won’t spoil it. This is a must visit!

Dan, the owner, has been in business my whole life. Love going in there and finding an amazing odd gift for someone. There is so much stuff for adults 18 and up in there.

OCJs is a part of Rome. It's been there since I was knee-high to a boll weevil. Back in the 60s, when hippies were everywhere and hungry and happy, they would shop at OCJs for their hippie stuff. Now I go there, for my hippie needs like rolling papers and incense. So when in Rome, go to OCJs for all your hippie needs.

This is a great local business that's been here for probably 20+ years. It really is an odd collection of stuff, and lots of it. It's a cool little shop. Kind of the place you have to visit to get.

The owner is a character of sorts, and I mean that in a good way. I don't know anything about him personally, but every time I've walked in this place for the last 20 years he's been pleasant and extremely helpful. He's been around a long time, and we always get into these interesting little stories about the community, history, and things going on around town. His perspective is always unique, but that's a part of what makes this place what it is.

Zero complaints for this great little spot.

(Right now there's a codes issue at the building that he's working through. There's a doorbell on the front door. Ring it and he'll come out and help you out with whatever. I'm not getting into he political thing around what's going on there, but I'm always up for supporting a real local business, especially one that's been here this long. Go buy a t-shirt or something. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.)
