I went to a flea market a while back...

...and took some pictures. This was the most interesting set at the place:



You should know that many of the booths were running big CRT sets all-day-long with multiple extension cords plugged into each other, often under piles of old clothes and paper junk. I lifted one of the piles to reveal power strips plugged into power strips and told my girlfriend to keep a fire exit within sight!

However, I did pick up a Chrysler AM/CB radio circa 1977 for $5.

I don't know about you, but I suppose I enjoy vintage buildings along with cars, TVs, etc. so I had to take this picture of what was likely the original lunch counter at this old Detroit supermarket. It's been a flea market since at least the late 80s, but the lunch counter somehow managed to survive in very good condition, turquoise enamel panels and all. I'm thinking it was a local chain called "Chatham's" that went belly-up in the mid 80s. I'm sure the ceiling had tiles back in it's heyday...
