Jonnet Flea Market

It surprises me when someone doesn’t like a flea market of this MAGNITUDE. First off, sadly, around this particular area of PA there really isn’t anything like it anymore. We used to have one near Pittsburgh in an abandoned mall, and one in Latrobe at the Drive-​In which was razed to build a sigh… CVS a few years ago. Jonnet has been around a long time, used to be an old card dealership.
Now, it is a thing of legend. Like many year-​round flea markets, Jonnet has a number of regulars who rent out permanent spaces. They can tend to have the same things, but several of them price very reasonably and if you come every few months you’ll find they’ve moved stuff pretty quickly. Outside, during warmer months or even colder ones for the insane, is where you get your variety of noobs. There are the occasional regulars outside, but the majority are people who come for one time only with the usual hodge-​podge of things. Inside there’s a section that also features noobs intermixed with renters. Either way, there is plenty to look at here.
Dirty? IT’S A FLEA MARKET. Don’t you get it? The term comes from the idea that anything with fabric is filled with fleas, otherwise known as DIRTY. But it’s really not that bad, it isn’t. If you’ve never been to a flea market you don’t belong here anyway. And THE FOOD. OH YES. Absolutely, disgustingly greasy. Horrible for anything alive, but SO GOOD. Last time I was there, one of the servers had a prosthetic arm with a hook on it. I mean, where else can you find people THIS REAL?

most of the stuff is dusted off land fill. very expensive if it has anything to do with collectables, even if its in poor shape. they almost look mad at you if you dont buy something at their stand.
the 12 hot dogs for a dollar is a good find if you dont mind food poisening. really guys, after they turn green, throw it away. im kidding about the 12 for a dollar, but its close.
we love to people watch, so if you like to see what the hills have to offer, take a ride to blairsville and see the next cast of «the hills have eyes»

Ahh, yes! This has been here since dirt I believe. It is what it is. Local hicks selling guns and knives, along with porno ‘grab bags’ for $ 5. Last time I went I overheard a seller saying, «Watch him, his pants are baggy.»
I have made some nice finds here though, so that’s why I’m giving it ⁴⁄₅.
