Title: Speaking of flea market, if you think there's a lot of Mev in N. Cal, the photos
Post by: theking on October 11, 2018, 11:45:08 PM
...I took of a recent visit to the O.C. Flea Market seemed to show much more Mev concentration is in SoCal...and seemed like more vendors have brand new brand name stuff too especially tools down there...I estimated about 90% Mev and if you happen to go further south to like say San Ysidro, it's closer to 100% Mev... from my personal observations.. .???

Sight and sound of the OC Flea Market:

Growing up we will hit Paramount swapmeet which is open 7 days a week. On the weekend just have better stuffs.

A lot of Hmong parents go to the flea market/swapmeet to buy Mev medicine.

Look dead now. You are better just going to Santee Alley in the same area if Fashion District.

The last time I was there was not shopping but drive thru movies. 2 movies for the price of 1. 

My mom took us to Cypress or Certitos one. I remember my daughter got a red converse from there. It was a Korean vendor.
