Very cute and affordable little shop. I purchased a handful of very chic clothing for a great price. Lots of fun knick knacks too!

I thought this place was great! An eclectic mix of past and present just as the name suggest. I thought the prices were reasonable, the merchandise presented in charming displays.

I believe there was a change in ownership a few years ago, and the people I spoke with during my recent visit were very patient and polite.

There is street parking 1/2 block down as well as 6-8 places in the lot.

VERY worth a trip!

This place is WONDERFUL. 

PAULA MILLER clearly has an axe to grind with that long rant. 

Talk about rude!

PAST & PRESENT SHOPS IS A WASTE OF YOUR TIME, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR UNIQUE FINDS, A VARIETY OF ANTIQUES OR COLLLECTIBLES, QUALITY MERCHANDISE OR REASONABLE PRICING.  SHOP IS OVER PRICED, FILLED WITH ITEMS THAT YOU MIGHT FIND AT A BAD GARAGE SALE.  THE SHOP HAS VERY FEW ANTIQUES AND COLLECTIBLES. DECOR ITEMS ARE ITEMS THAT YOU MIGHT FIND AT HOBBY LOBBY...NOT THE NICER STUFF, BUT THE MERCHANDISE THAT NOBODY WANTED, SELLING AT DEEP DISCOUNTS JUST TO GET RID OF IT...  PAST & PRESENTS IS EXTREMELY OVERPRICED, ESPECIALLY IN VIEW OF THE POOR MERCHANDISE SELECTION.  SERVICE WAS UNFRIENDLY AND DOWNRIGHT RUDE.....  MY NEGATIVE ENCOUNTER WAS WITH MARSHA, ONE OF THE SEVEN STORE OWNERS.      ( I FOUND MARSHA TO BE ONE OF THE RUDEST, SELF ABSORBED PERSON THAT I HAVE EVER SPOKE TO.)         I WAS ASKING MARSHA SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STORE AND SHE SPOKE TO ME IN A VERY, HATEFUL MANNER.  WHEN I WAS SPEAKING TO HER, I MENTIONED TO HER THAT I AM DISABLED AND SUFFERED FROM CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AND ILLNESS AND THAT DUE TO MY ILLNESS, THERE ARE MANY TIMES THAT I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY HOME.  SHE SAID SOME THINGS THAT WERE OUTRIGHT MEAN ABOUT MY ILLNESS.  BEING A LONG TIME CUSTOMER OF THE PRIOR SHOP, I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE CONSIDERED AN OWNER IN THIS NEW STORE WOULD INTENTIONALLY TRY TO RUN OFF CUSTOMERS.  THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE BUSINESS AS IT IS.  THE SHOP HAS ABOUT SIX PARKING SPOTS. WHEN I PASS BY, THERE IS NEVER MORE THAN ONE OR TWO CARS PARKED IN THE LOT.  ONE OF THE CARS IS ALWAYS THE PERSON WORKING AT THE STORE.  WHEN I WAS AT THE STORE, THERE WERE NO CUSTOMERS BESIDES MYSELF IN THE STORE.

SEVEN INDIVIDUALS LEASE THE STOREFRONT AND ARE CONSIDERED OWNERS.  THE STORE IS COMPRISED OF THE SEVEN OWNERS AND SEVERAL OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT RENT SMALL SPACES.  EACH SPACE SELLS THEIR OWN MERCHANDISE WITH NO EMPHASIS ON QUALITY.  MANY SPACES WERE VACANT.  HAVING SEVEN OWNERS MAKING DECISIONS, NO WONDER THE PLACE IS A DISASTER.   PAST & PRESENTS IS A STANDALONE SHOP WITH NO RESTROOM INSIDER AND NONE LOCATED NEARBY....MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM BEFORE YOU GO THERE.  OTHERWISE, YOU WILL HAVE TO DRIVE A DISTANCE TO THE LIBRARY, SHOULD NATURE CALL.  THIS SHOP IS IN HIGH NEED OF CLEANING, LOOKS DISORGANIZED, AND LACKS EYE APPEAL.  PAST & PRESENTS IS RELATIVELY NEW TO THIS LOCATION.   THERE WAS A PRIOR SHOP NAMED "ECCLECTIBLES" THAT WAS IN THAT LOCATION FOR YEARS.  I WAS A CUSTOMER OF ECCLECTIBLES FOR YEARS AND SPENT 2 TO 3 HOURS AT A TIME SHOPPING BECAUSE OF THERE VARIETY, QUALITY, AND GOOD PRICES.  I WOULD VISIT OFTEN AND ALWAYS END OF BUYING.  WHEN I VISITED PAST & PRESENTS, I WAS OUT IN LESS THAN A HALF AN HOUR AND DID NOT FIND ONE THING THAT I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED BUYING.  PAST & PRESENTS IS LOCATED WITHIN A COUPLE OF MILES FROM MY HOME.  ECCLECTIBLES MOVED FROM THIS LOCATION TO BATAVIA, WHICH IS 3 OR 4 MILES FURTHER.  FYI, ECCLECTIBLE IS LOCATED ON HWY 25 ADJACENT TO WILSON, OVERLOOKING THE FOX VALLEY RIVER. IN THE FUTURE, I WILL DRIVE THE EXTRA DISTANCE TO ECCLECTIBLES.... A SHOP THAT IS WORTH THE TIME AND DRIVE.  ( I AM IN NO WAY AFFLIATED WITH ECCLECTIBLES.)  EVEN IF THE MERCHANDISE WAS WORTH SHOPPING, I WILL NEVER GIVE PAST & PRESENTS ANOTHER CHANCE TO SEE IF THEY IMPROVE, BASED ON MY ONE EXPERIENCE WITH MARSHA.  IF I COULD RATE THIS STORE LESS THAN 1 STAR, IT WOULD BE MINUS 10 STARS......
