park slope flea

brooklynpotter · May 2009

was working my table at the brooklyn flea (fort greene) and some guy came over and handed me a card for the park slope flea (new and coming) anyone know anything?

i think sunset park is getting a flea, and williamsburg has one coming but website has NO details. and the people from the brooklyn flea are having one outside in dumbo this summer.

anyway... anyone know details?

BP - what types of things do you sell?

brooklynpotter · May 2009

i think the park slope flea is the same as the one at the islamic school:

no offense to the flea organizers, but i'm not too worried about this flea taking away my business at the fort green brooklyn flea...

I thought they called the flea market at 321 the Park Slope Flea market? No?

Only colloquially, not legally.

brooklynpotter · May 2009

so since when is 20th/4th park slope?

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

I didn't see in the article when the Sunset Park one starts - anyone know?

brooklynpotter · May 2009

i think it's the same flea

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

hmm, I thought that is what the banner says, but now that I am thinking about it, i think it says something about being PS 321 Flea market or some such.

And, yeah, 20th and 4th being the Park Slope Flea market? uhh, yeah, that is a stretch

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

I thought it was held by the same people, that's why they were using the same name? I could be very wrong.

brooklynpotter · May 2009

look at the map on the parkslopeflea site, that's, i think, where the islamic school lot is

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

BP are you doing the Flea this weekend? Or is this your skip weekend?

brooklynpotter · May 2009

i am doing the brooklyn flea this weekend, in fort greene.

mother's day is sunday! buy something for your mom!

anastasia beaverhausen · May 2009

I'm going to try to make this one since I missed the last two!

brooklynpotter · May 2009

please do!

pastoralia · May 2009

I'll be checking it out but that website doesn't create a lot of confidence. If you don't know what I mean check out the FOOD tab and marvel at COOKIES, HAMBURGERS, CHICKEN...

brooklynpotter · May 2009

i will say, not to toot my own flea's horn (ok, well, yes), we have great food: waffles and dinges, some of the redhook vendors, etc etc. no burgers and chicken.

i see that flea filling a need of socks, sunglasses, etc. i don't see it as a place for artists

pastoralia · May 2009

I know...that's what I fear. Maybe they'll allow dogs? That's the sole reason I've never been back to the Brooklyn Flea.

brooklynpotter · May 2009

nope, no dogs. i read it on the FAQ page.

(and for what it's worth, i've spoken with the organizers of the fort greene flea about the dog issue, which is really an issue with the fact that it's a school playground so it's a legal issue. i suggested they needed a dog sitting area outside the flea, so everyone's happy)

pastoralia · May 2009

I don't understand the whole "playground no dogs" thing. My dog is small enough to hold in my arms. And if I had a big dog and it crapped I'd pick it up (like anyone else would surrounded by witnesses).

The Brooklyn Flea and this one is perfect for a long walk with your pet followed by a little shopping. Why don't organizers get that? I will never leave my dog unattended. I know what happens to little dogs in this world.

brooklynpotter · May 2009

which part of illegal/also against insurance are you having the problem with?

pastoralia · May 2009

She's 8 pounds. How dangerous can she be?

brooklynpotter · May 2009

i don't think you're understanding. this isn't about how big or small or nice or ferocious your dog is. that's a whole different argument.

it's about the fact that dogs are not allowed there.

pastoralia · May 2009

I love my dog too much. It's a problem.

longtimesloper · May 2009

I totally see why they wouldn't allow dogs in a flea market on a playground, dogs aren't allowed on playgrounds in general. if a dog poops in a playground, even if it is cleaned up, it leaves something there. Even worse if the dog pees. And, yes, your dog might be small enough to hold in your arms but not all dogs are and then people with dogs too big to be held in arms are going to get upset that your dog is allowed in and theirs isn't. So, no dogs period.

if you want to g to a flea market that doesn't allow dogs, just leave your dog at home. i love my dog, but she can't go everywhere with me.
