On our two
Sunday morning
trips to US Highway #1, we visited
two of Columbia's many flea
markets?The Barnyard Flea Market
and Metro US One Flea Market.
Surprisingly cool items are offered

offer eveiything from pets to toiletries.
We found tons of vinyl selections:
soundtrack records like The Godfather,
themes from 80's television shows,
The Fat Boys (on a 45), The
Chipmunks Sing Punk, The GoGo's,
classical recordings and those funny
dance instructional records that your
parents would never admit to using.
Rare and domestic pets are for
sale throughout the markets.
Tarantulas, scorpions, iguanas, baby
turtles, alligators and albino snakes
for the fearless. The rest of us choose
from hamsters, bunnies, baby chicks
Food at the flea market is a person

are on display at some dealers' areas.

ers
old, you may want to consider the
he clothing sections of flea markets,
socks, boxers, hats and shoes are
ime clothes are new and some are
markets have budget furnishings
Dr those bare dorm rooms and
partments.
Discount stereo equipment,
nens, satellite dishes, chairs, china,
lintendos and Segas (and their
ames) are available.
We found some of the more
xpensive and popular favorites at
heaper prices. Funky plastic rings
nd necklaces, hemp jewelry,
ipestries, candles, incense and silver
iweliy were priced much lower than
t trendy stores in Five Points.
Seasonal decorations are also
)r sale at lower prices.
We recommend checking out the
uge boxes of Halloween supplies
efore spending a fortune at the super
tores.
Make-up and colorful hair sprays
re $.50 and $1.00. One dealer at
he Barnyard had a great selection
f masks, costumes, face paints, false
! tongues.

and Sunday, unlike many
