Adventures in Flea Markets...

Today has been a bonanza of Flea Market travelling, particularily Flea Markets I've never been to. This morning I went to two Flea and Farmer's Markets, one in Strathroy and one east of London. The Family Flea And Farmers Market in North Strathroy was small and quick, but I think I miss half of the flea market. What I found was mostly food and lamps with images of dead NASCAR drivers on them. I might go back there in a few weeks but I'm not too sure. However, the Trail's End Farmer's Market/London Sales Arena East of London was huge. It didn't have that creepiness that Gibraltar has, but it didn't the massive amount of crap booths either. However, I did score the following:

Comic
Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld #13 for $1

CDs
Patti Smith - Horses for $4 (this was a wise impulse buy)
R.E.M. - Document for $5
The Soundtrack to Kids in The Hall Brain Candy for $5

This afternoon I went south of Mount Brydges to the Hilltop Old Tyme Antique/Fleamarket. What was odd, yet neat with this place is how you can tell where the flea market section is and where the antiques section is with a faux 50's mom & pop dinner splitting the two. I found a lot of 8mm film accessories and Video Disc Movies like Ghostbusters, but nothing worth picking up today. This place I know I have to take Johnny #16 to because well, it's on "The Duece" (Hwy #2).

After all this travelling I decided to go to Arkona. There is nothing exciting in Arkona, I just felt like I should go there.
