May 10, 2008   Dear Flea Market Owners, Managers and Vendors.   Please help us find our son, Christopher Allan Cross - see photo below - He has an outstanding arrest warrant in Shelby County, Tennessee. He has jumped bail and is a fugitive from the law. He also happens to be our son! Last year, my wife (his mother) and I signed a bond on our house for Ten Thousand Dollars to get him out of jail and now he has left us –his family- quite literally holding the bag!  We may lose our home as a result!     Why are we sending this to you?  Allan had been living with us up until he left about 4 months ago. As far as we know, he is selling and trading used computer games and game systems at flea markets. We think he is continuing to do this, as this is his only source of income and he is dealing in cash in order to avoid apprehension. We have no idea where he is.  He may have never been to your Flea Market or your area and our efforts may be completely in vain.  However, we are determined to do what we can to help find him and at least give him a few less places to hide.  Also, $10,000 of our hard earned money is at stake!   Please keep and eye out for him and we ask that you post this information for your dealers and customers. Thanks very much for your time and consideration, we do really appreciate your help.    Please email us if you see him and call 911 and report him to your local Police.   Also please notify the Collierville Tennessee Police Department @ 901-853-3207 (Police Report # 074934) and the Memphis Bonding Company @ 901-526-1776.   We are offering a $500 DOLLAR REWARD for information leading to his arrest!

More than 500 vendors sell their wares here on Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. till 5 p.m., rain or shine. With over 150,000 square feet under one roof, it is the largest indoor flea market in the state of Tennessee. There are also outside booths. A small number of vendors, mostly in adjacent buildings, are open for business daily. You can find just about everything here, from cookware to pets to rare coins. Prices can be very good. For example, I saw a travel pillow at Sweetwater Flea Market for $2.00, when the exact same item sells in a travel store in a fancy Mall for $11.95. Still, don't presume everything you buy here will be a bargain. No matter where - always shop with care.

Eastern Market

by Jon on October 31st, 2006

Located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington DC is a historic and interesting jewel for shopping and spending a weekend afternoon - Eastern Market. 

It’s a combination flea market, artist’s gallery, farmer’s market, antique bazaar, flowers shop, bakery and butcher shop spread over a couple blocks.  Think of it as a big and somewhat whacky “town center meets mega garage sale”.

The market is actually comprised of a building with two large halls (north & south) which services as a food market and community center and its grounds plus a large parking lot across the street which houses the weekend open air flea market.  

The market building, completed just 8 years after the end of the Civil War, is situated on a tree lined street in the historic Capital Hill neighborhood.  It’s the last fresh food and farmers market that is still in operation in the District.  The building has been designated as a National Historical Landmark.

As part of Major Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s initial plan for the new Capital City, he wanted to ensure the public had reliable access to fresh food and produce.   The first such market which opening in 1802 was located where the Capitol Building now sits. 

It was moved in 1812 to East Capitol St. and after the British burned down the Capitol in 1814, the Supreme Court, which had previously held court in the Capital Building, moved their next term to the to the East Capitol Street market. 

The market was moved once more before moving to its current location.

Today, it acts as an unofficial town center for “The Hill”, and bustles with activity as it has since it first opened in 1873. 

There are many nearby restaurants ranging from casual to more elegant that serve weekend brunch and lunch so you can make an afternoon out of your visit.

Some local trivia: The site was used last month for a location shoot for the production of the next in the Die Hard movie series staring Bruce Willis.
