Downtown Flea Market
Beginning Sunday January 20, 2008, the brand-new South Park Flea
Market will transform a parking lot at 8th and Grand into a weekly
open-air bazaar.

Phillip Dane, the organizer behind the Fairfax Flea Market (also known
as the Melrose Trading Post), has organized the Downtown venture.
Assuming the South Park market finds the success of its more
established Fairfax counterpart, the flea market will be a draw not
only from the local community but from Eastside, Central and South LA
neighborhoods as well.

Welcome Hunters LA

On Sunday, I headed to Chinatown to check out a six month old clothing store located at 454B Jung Jing Rd. called Welcome Hunters (www.welcomehuntersla.com). The owners, Robin and Jason, are extremely laid back, and willing to tell you all about the designers that they carry. Almost every line in the store is exclusive to the US. Whether it's the latest designer from Stockholm or London they have something for everyone (men, women, or unisex). I scored a pair of dress socks from a Paris designer that are keeping my toes warm right now.

** LA Weekly is doing a piece on them so get there before it's discovered by the hipsters in neighboring Silverlake and Echo Park.

If you want to make a day of it, than check out Via Cafe around the corner for noodles and Munkey King for collector toys. And of course, buy yourself a Buddha statue for your Zen garden.
