This is Biden's America and it sounds like white privilege since you got to ask.

At Broadmoor I believe. They had several good booth's there. I'd go walk around there a while and follow it up with a steak burger combo from nooleys

Pretty sure it was crap 35 years ago when my aunt was making and selling wind chimes made out of cut up 2 litre pepsi bottles.

Rebel and Broadmoor shopping center with flea markets were miles apart. I preferred Broadmoor. Not sure why, I just liked it more unitl it was closer to the time that they closed it. You couldn't find anything decent in any of them anymore after around 1997 or so. I saw a lot of movies at the Broadmoor (even before it was a $1 matinee place), and I thought it was okay.

It's always been like that. I did find a guy doing whole suits for $5. I bought every one and donated them to an organization that helps people find jobs who are homeless or out of jail.
Felt pretty good.
Got some cheap books and some cool knives. But yeah the flea markets are junk. The one in Algiers is the worst.

Did you see any shoplifted shaving razors or hair care products?

Unless you’re looking for a dream catcher stay away from the gun show circuit.

I would imagine the internet did them in. Anyone can sell their junk now with a few clicks
