I love Mesa Market. Grant it, if you've been there once, you're been there a hundred times, but it's the size of a football field so one visit can take all day, so wear comfortable shoes!\nFolks drive in from miles around- even from neighboring states to shop or sell here. It's so extensive and well set up, it's easy to see why.\nThere are five LONG tents, about 1600 kiosks, for a total of 1 1/4 miles of shopping.  Most vendors carry very specific stock, so in a five minute walk you can see:\n-beer can folk art\n-Christian themed glass etchings and stained glass\n-used paperbacks and VHS tapes\n-dried fruit, nuts, and Mexican vanilla\n-tshirts with witty pictures like a cartoon squirrel saying \"I'm so old I can't find my nuts!\" or Hallmark's Maxine saying \"The best thing about having Alzheimer's is: at least I don't have Alzheimer's!\"\n-knives, machetes, sawblades, and scythe blades\n-golf carts and clubs\n-\"As Seen On TV\" items like the Bumpit and the PedEgg\n-knockoff perfumes and discontinued pharmaceutical items\n-socks, three pairs for two bucks\n-hand-dyed tshirts with gold accents and angel designs that middleaged women love\n-jewelry, watches, cheap purses and wallets\n-pet rocks, battery-operated ferrets, and Beanie Babies.\nIt's a browser's dream come true.\nInstead of in-house music, there's an endlessly looping tape of a friendly, older gent's voice with a slight Southern accent, advertising specials or featured vendors. There are washrooms at the end of every tent, fast food vendors and seating areas in the middle, and a truly massive (and free) parking lot.\nFriday is the best day to go; weekends are a bit too busy unless you don't mind big, very slow-moving crowds.
