    You with the 5 dollar footlong Jesus as we call him locally, was the absolute highlight of my week! The waving from the foot was priceless. The butter Jesus was struck by lightning( I know there’s a joke here) years ago. Glad to see you in my area. Safe Travels!

    My mom used to be a vendor there, 20 years ago they used to have real horses and even a zebra in the corrals and even further back than that they used to have stagecoach rides. My great aunt sells gliders there now. I always thought they added the fiberglass animals because of Jungle Jim's popularity.
    If you like flea markets Jacob, there's one in Brookville Indiana that's called Whitegate farms, it's open on Wednesdays from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00. It's a rural flea market, they sell livestock and a lot of antique items there's also a really large flea market in Lucasville Ohio, they do it four times a year and it's huge! Some people have to camp out just to get in! It's called Lucasville Traders day.

    Turtles would druther be at Turtle World. Across the highway is another flea market that used to be called Turtle Creek (now Treasure Aisles) flea market, kind of a dig at their competitor at the time. I’m glad you enjoyed Skyline Chili, lots of out-of-state UA-camrs make fun of it and dislike it. You can ask for a small 3 way to still enjoy and cut carbs a little. People make skyline dip at home, get a disposable aluminum pan, cover bottom with spread out block of cream cheese, pour warmed chili over that and cover with mild shredded cheese and bake until cheese melts, eat with tortilla chips. Delicious!

    Good stuff Jacob. My brother and sister-n-law used to set up outside at Trader's World and sell things years ago. Trader's World just isn't what it used to be in it's heyday before the internet and ebay put a giant dent in the Flea Markets sales. Touchdown Jesus was struck by lightening because they did not have him properly grounded. The current Jesus statue is grounded right and should not suffer the same fate. I am glad you got some rest and enjoyed some Skyline Chili. Other places in Cincy to get chili is Gold Star, Blue Ash Chili and Camp Washington Chili.

  • @davidbowers521
    @davidbowers521 10 місяців тому +6

    Alternate take on the turtle quip - I always took it as a cheeky reference to their competition - there used to be a Turtle Creek flea market (now treasure aisles) right across the interstate.

    "Druther" is short form for "would rather." An offshoot of this is the phrase, "if I had my druthers." First time I heard it was in the Primus song, "DMV."

Maybe you could swing over to Rogers, Ohio to the Rogers Flea Market sometime soon. It's like the biggest one in ohio i think Something like 1600 vendors, and 250 acres. Im going to be going out there soon to source some inventory for a store im opening. (I've never been). Oh and also, that clown....nope..just nope...😬🤣

He’s always had a few out there but just the ones that are along the road from the main entrance down to the sign. Those were just added like I said sometime in the last couple of years so and alsotreasure Island flea market is across I 75 from this one, so may wanna check it out if you haven’t already but anyway welcome to Ohio and glad you’re here. I think you were there Sunday we had was going down there but I didn’t like driving.
