I love rock-bottom prices and bottom-of-the-barrel shopping expeditions – especially when they're set in a ramshackle shopping center next to the Kidz Vo Tech center – so I couldn't resist stopping by Karen’s Flea Market, 4700 S. Bryant.
Tightly-packed but highly entertaining, Karen's is a whole world set in the cobbled stalls and plywood walls, containing everything in the world you don't want but must have, down to cracked porcelain figurines of crooked bovines, which I saw upon arriving and considered purchasing.
