Top 10 Weirdest Stores in Los Angeles

At Necromance, owner Nancy Smith's morbid collection of curiosities includes old skeleton keys, glass eyes, freeze-dried reptiles and other objects reminiscent of something you might find in the basement of the Museum of Natural History. 7222 Melrose Ave., 323-934-8684, necromance.com
5. Y-Que Trading Post
yque.com Some of the many T-shirts the store offers
Y-Que Trading Post isn't technically a trading post, but it certainly feels like one. Located on a busy stretch of Los Feliz, this small shop sells a wide range of assorted tchotchkes, from whimsical T-shirts and handmade jewelry to other pieces of bric-a-brac that defy description. It's like your local joke-and-magic shop, but with less jokes and more magic. Plus, L.A. Weekly contributor Lina Lecaro once worked there, so you know it's cool. 1770 N. Vermont Ave., Los Feliz, 323-664-0021, yque.com
4. Nick Metropolis Collectible Furniture

If you've ever driven north along La Brea and noticed a big red plastic settee in the shape of a pair of lips, that was Nick Metropolis Collectible Furniture. Billed as "a carnival of treasure," this place is all that and more. You'll find items such as life-sized replicas of The Simpsons characters and random neon signs in the middle of a huge selection of midcentury modern furniture. Even if you leave empty-handed, this place is always worth a peek inside. 100 S. La Brea Ave., 323-934-3700
