i bought two older-edition rough guides for $3 apiece. quite a bargain to me…
4:23 – I’ve been 5 times and bought something every time.
Sadly, I won’t ever be going back to this flea market – everything’s so over-priced that you’re better off just going to a regular store.
It’s a shame, ‘cos the location and idea has tons of potential, but unless it’s re-branded as something a little more, um, ‘truthful’, I can’t see it getting many repeat visitors.
This was my second flea, and I thought it was great. I went the first day it was open and didn’t stay long because it was so crowded. This week, the crowd was managable and I saw some cool stuff, had a good bite to eat and got a deal. The flea is a real boon to the neighborhood.
nice flea this week.
I was there at around 1 and it was packed. And I agree that it was by far the best mix of vendors. My favorite was the old guy near the baseball backstop.
Also, given the photos that accompany the post, it’s hard to see how this troll can make his negative comments with a straight face. What a looza!

I was there at 1:30 yesterday afternoon and there were about 40 people in line for the pupusas. I agree with 11:49 – it was the most crowded – with both vendors and customers – that I’ve seen the Flea.
That said, a lot of the merchants seem to sell the same thing, I would like to see about a 40/40/20 mix of “crafts”, curated junk (not just random crap), and food.
11:49
I found the merch to be a mixed bag:
1. Craft vendors selling generally over priced “crafts”.
2. Vendors selling stuff at a mixed price range, some cheap some expensive.
3. Antiques and collectibles selling a top dollar.
4. A few, just a few vendors selling at cheap, junk market prices.
