I wasn't always a blogger, getting here I wore a few different hats. One hat was as an antique dealer. Many mayors ago, I had a small shop on 7th Street. That little building has long since been demolished. Another retail venture involved photography and a darkroom on 8th Street.
A large antique venue has relocated to the former Parkway Bowling in the rear lower section of the Parkway Shopping Center. A visit this past weekend found Weil's Doghouse Antiques packed with 185 antique dealers. However, their parking lot flea market has yet to take root.
Although very sparse last weekend, the parking lot flea market will host another odd fellow this Friday morning for a couple hours. I'll be at an outside parking lot table between 8:00 and 10:00 AM, with some vintage camera accessories from the 1940's and 50's, and a few sketches on paper by Jessica Lenard.
Shown above is the back and front cover of my booklet available at Amazon Bookstore. It contains 36 selected blog posts about growing up in Allentown during the 1950's.
How long have they been there?
ReplyDeleteWere they on 31st Street just off Lehigh prior to moving to the Parkway Shopping Center?
anon@5:41: I believe that they opened about a month ago. However, the large space is packed with dealer stalls, and the stalls are packed with items. It looks like they have been there forever. Yes, it is the same outfit that had been on 31st. St.
