There are two kinds of flea markets: the nice respectable kind and the kind that has a bunch of crap piled sky high, or in other words, the landfill kind. This is the latter. There was one booth out of several hundred that had decent items at a reasonable price. Most of it was just junk that you wouldn't even take for free. There was dust on the items that looked as though nobody has worked on their booths for years. In one booth, shampoo was sold. Rust formed at the bottom of the cans, and you couldn't pull the can from the shelf (without pulling down the whole shelf) because it was so stuck.
It is not climate-controlled. This place has NO A/C during Arkansas' 110 degree summers. They have a few industrial fans at the ends of the super, super long aisles. Today, it was moderately cool for an Arkansas summer day--- about 94 degrees. It was actually hotter in this flea market than it was outside. read more
