Bradley Eye
Southern Iowa’s Top Shopping Destination
Antique treasures and modern conveniences await the customer of The Shoppes at Bradley Hall in Centerville, Iowa. As soon as one enters the Shoppes through spacious glass doors, one’s eyes cannot help but move from one object to another. From gift items to collectibles (in my opinion, the Jelly Belly booth is worth checking out) there is something for everyone at The Shoppes at Bradley Hall—from the young to the old.
The site of the historic Shoppes is located on an equally historic house to the Centerville district. Completed in 1909, the house was completed for D.C Bradley on 519 Drake Avenue, the same location as today. The house was considered a social center of Centerville, complete with a ballroom on the third floor. When vacated, the house housed many different venues; for instance, a private residence, a nursing home, classrooms for college and elementary students and administrative offices for the Centerville Community Schools. In 1998, Morgan Cline, an East coast advertising executive with local roots, with the help of Commercial Resources, Inc., also located in Centerville, purchased the house from the public schools. January through August of 1999 was the renovation stage. Partitions and fluorescent lights came down, the woodwork cleaned, the wood floors refinished, walls were painted and papered, and carpet scraped off the tile flooring. In addition, the ceramic tile roof was removed, repaired and in some areas, replaced. Mr. Cline's philanthropic vision of Bradley Hall was to preserve it indefinitely and in a fashion that would allow it to be enjoyed by all, thus evolved the Shoppes at Bradley Hall.
With 10,000 square feet of usable space on the premise, The Shoppes at Bradley Hall in Centerville hosts enough space to contain quite a large amount of collectibles. With an impressive three floors, the onlooker may be intimidated by the size of the beautifully constructed Bradley house, but once inside one may find that the space is used effectively—every bit of space available is used to its fullest, from the items inside the kitchen sink, to items inside a closet in the hallway.
Bill Burch, a local entrepreneur to the Centerville area, had this to say about the delights of shopping at The Shoppes at Bradley Hall: "Of the over two dozen projects we have developed, Bradley Hall is one of the most gratifying and still the regions #1 shopping destinations."
So, there you have it. “There's a lot more business out there in small town America than I ever dreamed of.” Sam Walton spoke these words, and proof exists in Centerville, Iowa and The Shoppes at Bradley Hall. Small town reliability and reasonable prices coupled with big city products and ambiance, The Shoppes at Bradley Hall have every service to meet every need. With three floors of collectibles, there’s enough paraphernalia to suit each individual’s needs. Check out http://www.bradleyhall.info/ for more information regarding the historic site.

What happened to Buddy Bradley in P Bagge's "Hate"?
I hadn't seen a Hate annual for some time until today, when I bought #6. Now Buddy wears an eye-patch, a sailors cap, and has lost his hair. I've obviously missed something - what's the story behind the new get-up?
maybe he's fallen down the stairs, been impaled by a poorly placed fork, gone to sea and had a nasty tussle with some sand fleas......
