I recently visited the flea market, and while there were some interesting finds, I walked away a bit disappointed. One major drawback was that many of the sellers seemed to be established vendors with permanent locations. This made the market feel less like a treasure hunt and more like a mini mall—hardly the unique experience I was hoping for.
Another downside was the parking fees. On Sundays, it's a hefty $20, which really adds up. If you don’t find at least that much in savings during your visit, it feels like a wasted trip. With that in mind, it’s tough to justify the expense unless you're scoring some serious deals.
Overall, while the market has potential, it might be worth exploring other options if you’re looking for a more authentic flea market experience.
