Hog Days 2017 Flea Market, Kewanee IL

Always a highlight of my summer, Hog Days did not disappoint this year.  In between the metric ton of pork I consumed, there was actually a record vendor at the flea market! Very nice collection, everything was bagged and individually priced and they had a ‘premium’ section with some nice wares as well.  I didn’t […]

Traderbakers Flea Market [Carrolton KY]

harlem/foster flea market

Last second gsalr.com score brought me up to Jefferson Park for an impromptu but rewarding little jaunt.  There were probably 20 vendors but I was nearly half way through before I encountered any records at all.  And even that was a paltry 10-12 beat down old platters.  Junk – no thanks. I continued to endure […]
