| - I've been coming here for 35 years, much less so in the past 15, because it has gone downhill every year since its heyday. This is what you get: Every single vendor sells the same crap. Rows and rows and rows of identical stuff. What kind of stuff, you ask? Styrofoam plates, mangos, knockoff shoes, tshirts, and toy guns dangling from the shade roof. That's your selection. You can find these items in aisle F, aisle E, aisle G, and so on. You can never escape these items, nor will you find much of anything else with 2 exceptions. There's a guy selling parakeets and a crystal shop in the front.
How did it used to be? Well, this place literally had everything. Families would come and sell their garage sale stuff, mom and pop businesses would sell their handicrafts, small businesses would set up shop and sell everything from silver jewelry to baseball cards, rocks, comic books, collectibles, you name it. Those people are long, long gone. Why? What happened? Did crime get too bad? Did China literally take over the marketplace? Did Park N Swap give them the boot? I wish I knew.
If it doesn't change back to the way it used to be, and the way it should be, I won't be returning.
