After 41 years in business, Flea Market Tallahassee on the city's southside permanently closed last month. But a number of its former vendors found a new home for their wares over the weekend.
Some of the exhibitors went to the Tool Library on Woodville Highway. Another refuge was the parking lot of the Tallahassee Urban League in Frenchtown. That's where Urban League Executive Director Curtis Taylor gave them and customers a warm welcome.
"We had a great time today and we had people coming through all day. This is all about Tallahassee supporting our local businesses," he explained.
One of those businesses is owned by Kiwanis White.
"Flea Market Tallahassee closed down, so it was nice that they offered this space so vendors and small businesses can move forward."
In the meantime, the search goes on for a larger, permanent home for the flea market.
