Fleas For Sale


Snowbirds are flocking to the Flea Markets, hoping to find a last minute bargain before heading home. One of them, mostly run by Hispanics, is referred to as the Mexican Market or even the Junkyard. Clothing is dumped onto tables and customers root through it---sort of like a rummage sale, but not as organized. Unrecognizable car parts, ancient appliances, bald tires, seatless bicycles, chipped dishes are just a few items offered for sale. You can find most anything if you're willing to dig for it. Since the market covers quite a large area, we not only get our exercise for the day, but even find a treasure once in awhile!
