    Default Anyone ever been to...

    The antique looking shops on 10th (I think) avenue? I remember getting off 185 at exit 2 (Veteran's Pkwy?) and making a right and going down several miles. Seems there is a cemetery on the right where you turn onto what I think is 10th Avenue. Just on the right is some sort of flea market looking area with statues outside? Anyone familiar with this place? If so, is it a cool spot to check out some old stuff?

    Thanks. Later, QD.

    My brother lives around that area and goes there all the time I knew the name just can't think at the moment. It's a pretty nice place for antiques lots of older ppl at that flea market. I first went there in my younger days looking at an old mans pistols he was selling from WW1

    I've been there before back in the day with my mom, can't really remember much. I don't know what your looking for, but you could check out the new antique mall/flea market. It's pretty big and has a lot of old stuff. It is on the north side of veterans, if you want directions let me know.

    Yeah this place is just a couple minutes from where I live and its freaking HUGE! Its an old warehouse or something and the parking lot is slammed every weekend (granted it just opened a few weeks ago). Its about 5 minutes off the interstate on the north side of town so you dont end up having to travel far into Columbus if you didnt want to.

    As for the place your referring to QD, that sounds like the south side of town, and I believe I know the place your asking about though Ive never been in there, they used to have one or more OLD cars\trucks parked out front as well. Directly behind it is a farmers market...... Its actually on (or rather JUST off) Victory Drive but only about 3/4 mile of the south end of Veterans Pkwy (which runs from north Columbus to South Columbus ). Not sure if its still there as its on the opposite side of town that most of us live on but perhaps someone lives close enough to ride down there or will be on that side of town. If I get the time or happen to be down that way in the next few days Ill check it out and let you know.

    Victory Drive is the road I mean, not Veteran's. Thanks. It is indeed the place with the old cars parked out front. Later, QD.

    I work at the Jeep Dodge Chrysler dealership right by the place you're referring to, so I pass it every single day lol. Only been there once with the old lady... Pretty cool place. Not so much a "flea" market as it is an Antique mall. A lot of really old pieces, really historic stuff. They also have one of the largest collections of old-school metal lunchboxes in the area. I'm talkin like original Star Wars and goofy ass 70's tv show lunchboxes. Haha. Lots of old signs, decorations and random nic-nac type shit. Prices are a lil ridiculous, but like I said, its labeled "Antique"... Meaning they can jack up prices, but still a pretty decent place to wander around. Right up the street is Joey's thrift mall, which I hear is definitely worth checking out, and Front Porch Of The South (mentioned in an above post), which is far north end of Veterans pkwy, is a huge brand new place they just opened up and looks very promising.

    That's the kind of shit I'm looking for. Every time you go to a damn flea market now, it's filled up with cell phone stores, furniture shops, fake clothesshops and hair salons. The fuck?

    That's that shit, dude. Thanks! I actually went to Columbus today, right past the place but didn't have time to stop. Later, QD.
