Vinyl records of all musical genres are for sale, though somebody really likes their indie rock judging from the selection (no harm there)! At the end of the record display is an old shoe shine stand. Its atmosphere is fun and lighthearted decorated with salvaged doors, music posters and vintage signs.

Lillo’s was established in 1948 in an old American Legion lodge and for a time was both a restaurant and popular dance hall where couples only rules applied and singles could only eat. The Italian family introduced the Delta residents to pizza with homemade cheese, spaghetti and lasagna as well as their own versions of American dishes such as Italian nachos topped with jalapenos and beef or sausage. Today, the tradition continues with an expanded menu to include more seafood and steaks and they still serve their original recipe Shrimp Supreme broiled in thick lemon butter sauce.
