| "Chicken John" a very colorful character |

| "Chicken Joe" said, "Be careful... don't break your camera" "And don't look me up on America's Most Wanted". He was such a card. |
Further into the market we came across these harsh reminders of the past and were shocked to see the Confederate grave marker on the table for sale.

| Slave Manacles and a plantation lock. |

| Beautiful Collard greens - only $2 a bunch. |
When Scott took this picture of the collard greens the little girl sitting in the back of the truck asked, "Why is that man taking pictures of Collard greens?"... I told her , "Because we're weird like that and enjoy taking photo's of interesting and beautiful things" and then we bought a bunch.
Certainly some unusual and different things for sale there...
ReplyDelete"Because we're weird like that and enjoy taking photo's of interesting and beautiful things" -Well thank goodness for weirdo like you!
ReplyDeleteI must come to the south sometime...I've never been and there is so much history there.
Oh I am excited this is a place I would love to have been with you. That Chicken Joe would certainly have some interesting stories to share.
ReplyDeleteI would have taken the collard greens photo too but I have never seen them before. I guess I am weird also. I love that:) B
What fun ... a flea market. I miss going to markets. We live too far away from any decent ones. Might have to think about travelling to one soon. Susan
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post, Becky! That gentleman in the first pictures up there is Chicken John... he's an old family friend, and a really awesome guy! He and my dad go fishing together quite often. We stopped by the market and saw him today-- as usual he was a blast to talk to. Thanks so much for posting this! Great pictures! Glad you guys had a fun time at the market!
