Billed as the largest indoor flea market, located on Division and Kolmar.

Been on fire since early this morning, and is still going. I used to go there as a kid.

That place was just like a mini mall -- living rooms, bedrooms, dinettes... you could find them at the market.

I used to have a couple guys who sold my speaker line in there- Monster Magnet. And any regular there knew Pops and Pops speakers. I had a very close working relationship with him and his kid.

I don't think hipsterism has reached that far west yet.

Great post! Do you wonder how many people here actually got what you are talking about?

Pops and Pops? Not what you want your speakers to do!

That's what my uncle said, who used to have a stand there many years ago until he moved to the Maxwell St Market.

True!
