Long Beach Antique Market

By ERIN DEWITT

Is your apartment looking a bit too much like an Ikea catalogue picture? Times are tough and furniture is expensive. Most of us can’t throw down a paycheck or two on an armoire. Less expensive home-decorating options are available though scarce. Said Swedish super-store usually gives you a mass of particle board and the same design scheme as thousands of college dorms and Craigslist furniture more often than not leaves you with a strange rash and at least one mysterious stain. So where is the discerning frugal interior designer to go? Voted one of the best flea markets in the country, the Long Beach Antique Market is a once-a-month event featuring more than 800 vendors sprawled over 20 acres. Quality pieces ranging anywhere from clothing to couches are guaranteed to be unique and interesting and besides, strolling in the sunshine of Veteran’s Stadium is so much better than strolling under the fluorescent lights of a corporate maze.
