Flea Market Flop

Carol and I watch HGTV and Good Morning America. Both those shows from time to time do pieces about finds at flea markets and turning them into something different and useful. The stuff they find is often interesting and unique. We decided today to head to the local flea market for the Savannah area. The ads said that Keller's Flea Market had over 400 vendors. You could get lunch there and wander among the booths of unique and varied items. Well folks it sure wasn't the flea market you see on television. If you could picture for the most part hundreds of booths of stuff from yard sales. Not your normal yard sales but the ones in a rundown trailer park. At a trailer with a cur dog restrained by a log chain. The dog as one and one half ears, three legs, one nut and a bad attitude. You look around to see table after table of crap you would have willingly and anxiously hauled to a dumpster on the other side of town so no one knew that shit belonged to you. On those rare occasions that you saw something worth buying it was priced as if it was made of gold and had been property of the Queen of England. No paperwork to verify prior ownership by her of course. I determined based on these photographs that the only person making money at this train wreck of a sale was Mr. Keller. I will give credit to his ability to take junk he found at this place and decorate various vehicles he displayed.

My buddy Mike may cringe a bit seeing classic cars altered like this. I think there is something to be said for taking an old ride and redoing with a bit of artistic license and having some fun with it. Making it yours. It appears the owner is into guns and perhaps preparing for the future seen in the Road Warrior series.
