Indoor Flea Market?

Hi all,

I just had a dream about a place my brother would take me to when we lived in Annandale in the late 70's. It was an indoor flea market. There were some permanent stalls and some temp ones. For the life of me I cannot remember what town it was in, but I know we didn't travel too far. We were driving a beat up Gremlin (To be fair it was an X). I just remember getting all of our comics in a little Comic "shop"/stall. After that, we'd go to a cool toy store close by.I know it was not a Toys R Us or Juvenile toys. Juvenile was close to us. I think it turned into a Pep Boys. The TRU was a nice little trek up passed NOVA and Fair City Mall. That was usually on the back of my dad's Honda 350. To be honest, I don't remember it being that far, but from the look of it on Maps, it was a nice little drive as well. But it may have moved since the 70's/early 80's.

If anyone can remember the name of the indoor flea market, I would be grateful. IF you can remember the toy store. Double points!!!!

Side Story - I used to hunt for change up and down everywhere I went. Once I saved up enough money. (We were dirt poor) A friend of mine and I would hop on a bus to go to Fair City Mall and see Star Wars.

And it always has looked like So Cal with illegals working on their cars in the back parking lot just a whole lot more of them today like 100 to 1 more

How do I know , I lived in SO Cal and went to Pep Boys , just like home in Annandale with Jack In The Box and Pepe Boys and the illegals always except all the signs now are in Korean same as So Cal today!

That Flea Market Kerlins Corner maybe, never was interested in collecting junk or carpets. That Toy store I think was up on the hill a bit behind where Jack In The Box was now Popeyes by a Emerson's steak place that has to have a Korean name on it too today
