Long Beach Antique Market is my antidote to the hot, costly and crowded Rose Bowl Antique Market. I do enjoy the Rose Bowl and usually go at least once or twice a year, but it's sprawling and during the Summer months can feel like a march through Death Valley.
Long Beach is smaller, cooler in temp and easier to navigate. But we hadn't been down there in the past several months so we were surprised when we tried to park in our usual lot. It was full! This time we were directed to a parking structure at Long Beach University and had to park on the third floor to boot. Turns out our little market has gotten quite popular since our last visit.
And while we found some of our usual favorite stalls, they've added quite a few new ones as well. We hope this bodes well for the local economy.
For a bonus, as we were leaving we caught site of a huge US Air Force cargo jet and took a slight detour to get a closer look.
There's just something about a big plane that brings out the kid in us.
