The military's medical flea market

Ever since I've know Jason {uer name} hes talked about going to this place but the long drive always kept me from doing it. A 2 1/2 hour drive to go to a place that we dont even know if we could get in didnt sound like a great idea. Plus all of the crazy legal issues with the baker, the cop that was a arsonist, and the added police force almost made it seemed like it would be a waste of time.

Finally one day we decided to go check it out. Jason, Shanerrrr, mrs fatwax and myself made the trip. When we first pulled up to it there where people walking around, the factories across the street had trucks driving in and out, a man was sitting on his porch watching us and the church behind was about to start a service. There where people on all sides. So we drove off and gave it some time. When we returned there where still people everwhere but we risked it and went for the p.o.e..

After we got in, I was happy that we made the trip. The place was full of things to explore. I dont really understand why some of the stuff was there. The outside of it was full of cars, fork lifts, trucks, gas pumps, and a boat. The first floor was packed wall to wall with old electronics, clothing, toys, tools, books, and so many other items that I cant name them all. Jason found a flyer that said it was a flea market at one time, It looked like they just left in the middle of it. A lot of items had price tags on it and some where brand new still in the original box. The second floor was full of personal items. From what I understand, it was housing for low income families at one point. We found old photo albums full of photos, check books with uncashed checks, family keepsakes, clothing and furniture. I have never seen this many items in one location before. Even the few room that where empty still had things to check out. It took days to get this place out of my mind.

This place was amazing from start to finish and im glad Jason was able to talk me in to it. We spent hours there and I felt like we still didnt get to see it all. Cant wait to go back for a second time!

Awesome set! When I went there about a year ago it was after dark and so we couldn't see much, and we were sorta asked to leave by the cops. And by sorta I mean they ran all our IDs and told us to take off after assuming we were there as ghost hunters. But it was still a great trip and I want to go back! Especially after seeing it during the day!

Cool site, great shots!. It always disturbs me when people leave their children's stuff behind. Imagine if you could find that teddy bear's owner and hold out the bear and say, "I this your teddy bear?".

If your ever back here you should try to hit it up. Its worth the drive and just as good if not better then the way he described it.

Believe it or not, he tried to get me to go out there, and naturally it was too far blah blah blah...

Wish I had. I did go out there once to try to find it, but it was just me and it was night time so I never found it. This was of course before I heard about it from Jason.

haha, yeah i belive it, that long ass drive almost kept me from doing it. We had been there a few times to see the hotel before we knew Jason and I knew about it but could never find it. Easy to get there if you know the way but very easy to miss if you dont.

Wonder why a flea market would sell Colostomy bags?!? Or if it was personal spaces, why would someone want to label that in their house?!?

"Hey Jim I am about to crap out of a hole in my abdomen, could you reach into that drawer labeled Rectal tubes and get me a colostomy bag? And pass me a beer while you're at it. Thanks" Lol

yeah, I love happiedaze pics of this place! A few vandals and taggers have hit it up but for the most part it looks the same from what I can tell. Just a few less items, some vandalism and "dem bloc boys" scribbled across a lot of the walls.
