| - I went to the Fantastic Indoor Swapmeet many, many years ago when I wanted to buy a cheap curb link bracelet. Given how many times I rub against dirt, rocks, trees, and bushes when I'm hiking, I want something with some substance to it but is low in price. When I lost a bracelet while hiking at Mount Charleston, a friend suggested I go here although I eneded up buying a new one at a local mall.
That being said, I haven't been here in a long time and only came here last Sunday to try the Pierogi Cafe which is part of the meet. At my advanced age, the entrance price is $.50 and it's more than worth it to see all the stuff they have here. Sometimes I couldn't help feeling like I was at an indoor Canal Street from New York City. Cheap luggage--check; $3 sunglasses--check; gaudy interior design schtick--check. It's all here and more with wigs and extensions, a mini doughnut maker snack place, and lots of interior decorative things you may or may not want. The one booth that caught my eye was the Peruvian alpaca goods place.
I did see a couple of places that had cheap bracelets. Next time I break the clasp, it will be cheaper to come here and get a new one rather than pay an exorbitant amount to have a new lobster clasp put on.
This certainly is not on my list of places to go just to check out things but it is fun to pay the fee and walk around once.
