This is an infinitely better idea than Mr. Aubin’s smug-powered free bus.
I agree with Commenty Colin. I must check this place out soon!

I hope that this Market Place grows. I’ve been twice in the past two days. I had my curtains altered today and they were finished in less than an hour and they are PERFECT! I also bought some jewelry and some rad old tapes for the boombox. If you are in the area you should go check it out. If you are a local vendor, they are offering a great price on space! I will be back for holiday gift shopping.
I just discovered Indy Mart and got really excited until I found out it closed down recently. I stumbled upon a gem and it was instantly stolen, I’m very disappointed! Are there any similar alternatives anybody knows about (excluding Saturday Market)?
