#flea-market

At the San Jose Punk Rock Flea Market, the entire club felt like a stage. The Ritz was jammed for the occasion. At opening time, high noon, people were already lined up outside. After I shelled out a five-spot to get in, I was told that if I wanted to leave and come back, there would probably still be a line outside. And there was.

The Nature Walk and Bird Count offers the opportunity to connect with nature and engage in a bird counting activity for a fee of $33, with free admission for those unable to pay.

Flea market vendors plan to continue setting up shop outside Berkeley's Ashby BART Station every weekend despite the market's recent closure. They are looking into a dual-management model that allows vendors to handle stall fees and operations while the former nonprofit operator provides support such as grant writing to cover financial gaps.
