    I read somewhere because it's translated from French. And in France a "flea market" is a strip of spots people rent to sell ****.

    or something like that.

    I've never been to a flea market before, but a UH friend of mine said he sold knives at one and makes a pretty good profit out of it.

    /irrelevant story bro.

    I think I went to a few when I was younger, but I don't remember where. I want to go to one again to check out the scene.

    The best "flea market" i know is the parking lot of Wal-Mart on 45 and West Road. Where else can you get electronics, speakers, car parts, clothing and dogs?

    Damn mexicans, lol. You can get pure honey on the side of HW 6 on the NW side. Even further down 610 north Mexivand are even tech savy and aside from
    Your usual pawn shops and cheap jewelry stores there are ones who can even modify hardware such a your 360 or CPU.

    Asians on the N/NW side got the same but you must try and at least be friends with them on facebook to initiate buyer/seller contact.
