On top of that, an enormous sign announces that they do not allow "walk-ins" -- you MUST arrive in a vehicle (presumably so they can collect the fee).<BR/><BR/>This is one of my pet peeves -- we try to walk as many places as possible. In a day and age when the whole world is trying to get people out of their cars to help the environment, here's Traders Village doing its best to foil that. I'd refuse to patronize the event ON THIS BASIS ALONE.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-51474851236539169722007-09-28T10:21:00.000-04:002007-09-28T10:21:00.000-04:00We personally don't care for flea markets and avoi...We personally don't care for flea markets and avoid them at all costs. Even if the one here at Trader's Village is "Houston's Best," we still wouldn't choose to go.<BR/><BR/>Sorry you took that as a negative comment; its just our preference. But if you have some hints about where to find Houston's Best Root Canal, we'll eagerly visit that on our way out of town.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-48696429549156714392007-09-28T08:19:00.000-04:002007-09-28T08:19:00.000-04:00If you haven't experienced the flea market and eve...If you haven't experienced the flea market and events at Houston's #1 Free Attractions (Houston Business Journal) and Houston's Best Flea Market (Houston Chronicle)it's really unfair to make negative comments about it. <BR/><BR/>I hope you have a great trip elsewhere.baxwrtrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06175713724682412395noreply@blogger.com
