| - Although I've lived in Vegas for a couple of years now, I had yet to make it out to a swap meet until this past weekend. (As an aside, I grew up in SoCal, so for me, it's a swap meet, not a flea market.) And what better weekend to make this trek than when it was 105 degrees outside?
Now, I've been to the swap meet in San Jo, which is massive. If that swap meet had a theme song, it'd be Sinead O'Connor singing "nothing compares to you." But Broadacres is also impressively big, and unlike any other swap meets I've been to (at least in recent memory), it has a built-in stage in the center of the swap meet. Apparently, a variety of bandas play on weekend nights!
The swap meet has the typical stalls, i.e., car accessories; women's "clubblish" clothing and shoes; tee-shirts; various toiletries; leather accessories; food; furniture; toys; tennis shoes; blankets; etc. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a "Catholic" stall with rosaries, baptism, and first communion stuff. (That kind of stuff can be surprisingly hard to find when it comes time to baptize someone or be a GP.)
There was tons of food and raspados. I even picked up some used CD's. All in all, it's a fun (and useful) place to check out.
