2023
0:09
sometimes I will occasionally go to the
0:11
every week Sunday Farmer Market farmer
0:15
Art Market
0:22
but I'm going to Branch out
0:22
over to Lakeland on this Sunday
0:29
for an event I've never been to an event
0:29
that takes place I believe once a year
0:30
and I think they might do a pop-up
0:32
throughout the year so once or twice a
0:34
year called the Punk Rock Flea Market
0:36
now they do Punk Rock Flea Markets and
0:38
different areas of the country as well
0:40
but they also do one here in Florida
0:42
about an hour from here in Lakeland body
0:45
of mine's got to pick me up and we're
0:47
going to cruise over there in a bit but
0:48
first
0:49
coffee located on the corner of Bloom
0:52
and Front Street also whenever they do
0:54
events down here they always block the
0:56
streets off streets closed in that
0:59
direction
1:03
and also whenever they do events down
1:03
here there's usually a pretty long line
1:04
at the coffee stand
1:06
but a little more than normal anyway
1:08
golf cart coming through Pike Place
1:09
regular coffee with a little cream of
1:11
sugar acquired
1:13
right here upon Lake Reinhardt it was
1:16
pretty busy in there but because I
1:17
wasn't getting a latte or food or
1:18
anything like that
1:19
it's pretty much in and out even though
1:21
there's a lot of people waiting for
1:22
their custom orders
1:23
I just went with like a basic coffee
1:25
welcome everyone out of the woo here do
1:28
not take that last step over the side
1:31
it's a doozy
1:33
I guess from Groundhog guy
1:35
could be a little misleading the weather
1:36
is very nice right now however
1:39
it's kind of early I could I would
1:41
imagine that the temperature will rise
1:43
just a little bit
1:45
whoa that is extra piping hot good thing
1:48
I have the
1:49
the jacket of course I was holding it
1:51
like this and it kind of gets a little
1:52
too warm and then put your fingers
1:53
around the not dust jacket but the
1:56
the heat jacket the heat wrapping
1:59
inviting you to join me today
2:02
shall you right about now it's 74
2:05
degrees it's gonna get up into the 80s
2:07
it looks like and the commute over to
2:09
Lakeland currently 73 degrees and it's
2:12
also going to go up to 84.
2:15
by noon over there so yeah it's going to
2:17
be a warm one I believe a lot of the
2:19
events inside though well hopefully here
2:21
is the flyer
2:23
Flea Market Lakeland is a place called
2:25
Swan Brewing March 26th which is today
2:28
is recording of this but they're going
2:30
to have vendors and even some bands let
2:32
me see exactly how far it is from point
2:34
A to point B from here according to the
2:36
maps app on my phone
2:38
43 minutes 37 miles 43 minutes of course
2:41
on I-4 Westbound you never know because
2:43
there's a different route you go an hour
2:45
and 14 minutes
2:46
I-4 Westbound giveth I-4 Westbound
2:49
taketh away let's see what happens if I
2:51
do not want to take away from the fact
2:52
that there is a fully kicking
2:55
picking and popular
3:02
transpiring event taking place down here
3:02
at this moment too this happens each and
3:05
every Sunday I think from 10 to 1 or 10
3:07
to 2 depending on the weather
3:09
what I'm going to only happens like once
3:11
maybe twice a year now one thing the
3:12
fountain down here off of Market Street
3:16
and shutdowns on celebration does not
3:19
have
3:20
is a marking that says lightning where
3:22
I'm at him but it does have some
3:23
markings for other areas
3:26
like Saint Pete 104 miles with the crow
3:29
flies even Burbank
3:31
on my kind of still look close to my old
3:33
stomping ground in Southern California
3:34
you know close to Hollywood close to
3:37
Anaheim Orange
3:47
I would love this Fountain that's like a
3:47
little splash pad sometimes people come
3:50
in here and run around through it they
3:52
get their bathing suits on and cool down
3:54
sometimes even without bathing suits on
3:56
I mean they have their clothes on
3:57
they're just they're wearing regular
3:59
clothes I mean I mean who knows what
4:00
happens after hours but I'll talk about
4:03
that I'm gonna go over to the bank into
4:05
the ATM and get some cash out because I
4:07
figure some of the vendors over in
4:08
Lakeland it'd probably be easier instead
4:10
of paying with a card and I want to get
4:11
a few things uh have some cash this is
4:15
one crazy gourd oh that's the name of
4:17
the that's the name of this that's the
4:19
name of the booth crazy gourds
4:26
a lot of the delicious fruits and
4:26
vegetables through here look at these
4:27
pineapples
4:33
basically the entire area down here is
4:33
just blocked off for vendor boosts under
4:35
canopies of tents down Market Street one
4:38
place I have purchased items from in the
4:40
past is getting fresh guacamole made
4:42
down here highly recommended you know
4:45
it's definitely not too incredibly warm
4:46
yet as stated it's probably going to
4:48
warm up a little bit but right now it is
4:49
pretty nice to be walking around Market
4:51
Street doing some shopping for everyone
4:53
I'm not going to buy anything here head
4:55
to the ATM get some cash for Lakeland
4:57
it's very convenient there is one right
5:00
over by the clock over there there's a
5:02
there's a bank on the corner here with
5:03
an ATM cash acquired got it in my wallet
5:07
inside my fanny pack there
5:38
it's a stare down squirrel
5:38
you lost all right I am now in the world
5:41
of mica mobile passing the Mickey power
5:44
pole all right arrived at the first
5:47
destination the hair shanty
5:50
well not really the hair Shanty it's a
5:52
place called Fred's over here on the
5:53
corner it's a buffet place
5:55
that I've never been to
6:00
here in Lakeland now before getting our
6:00
punk rock on we're gonna go to Fred's
6:02
Market restaurant
6:04
Mike and Abby are here as well they're a
6:06
good eating on gonna get so you've been
6:08
here before right oh yeah fried chicken
6:09
salad bar vegetables
6:15
15 minute away we've got some of the
6:15
local people here so I think that's uh I
6:18
think that might be the guy that started
6:20
Publix over here public started in
6:22
Lakeland and while waiting looking at
6:24
this pig piggy bank it's a piggy bank
6:26
but it's really a pig yeah merchandise
6:28
over here they have tumblers they have
6:30
hats things like that it even has their
6:32
own coffee brand here at Fred's hello
6:35
piggy bank Pig and we're waiting over
6:37
here in this little area here it says in
6:39
1954 Elton and Evelyn Johnson started a
6:42
family dining and also we've pumped gas
6:45
and Stacked Sandwiches how many times
6:48
you've been here Micah
6:49
four maybe five times it's like a
6:52
regular burger
6:53
you could get either the buffet or you
6:56
can just buy a one plate right so we'll
6:58
do the one play I might do the one plate
6:59
this is a very interesting setup I've
7:01
never seen so you got the full Buffet
7:03
it's called the full Market table you
7:04
can get everything as much as you want
7:06
over and over and over and over and over
7:07
where you get the blue plate which is
7:09
everything that's on the buffet but just
7:11
one plate or you could do a one trip
7:13
which has three courses one salad plate
7:15
and a dessert the blue paint does not
7:18
have dessert you can add that on for a
7:19
dollar forty nine or you can have
7:21
unlimited to the salad table for 1309 or
7:24
you can have unlimited to just a veggie
7:26
table for 15.22 I think I might go I
7:29
think I might go with just I'm just
7:31
going to go I'm gonna go with the blue
7:32
flag okay problem solved I asked one of
7:34
the employees for a blue plate and they
7:35
have given me one Blue Plate which I am
7:38
going to load up to my heart's content
7:40
it's better than just kind of doing the
7:42
full Buffet where I just go back over
7:43
and over and over I'm just going to go
7:44
with one bolt one Blue Plate fill this
7:47
thing up to the broom probably the most
7:50
confusing menu I've probably ever seen
7:53
but I mean everything like fluctuates
7:56
this like it's like 15 for the Blue
7:57
Plate
7:58
and then Mike ended up getting the the
8:00
non-blue place on does that mean he can
8:02
go back and get more and more no it just
8:04
means he gets a salad bar and a dessert
8:06
too okay well that's all it is so one
8:08
plate so you just guys got the one plate
8:10
then also a salad bar and a dessert yes
8:12
for like a few bucks more yeah so you
8:15
got the salad bar I don't get the salad
8:16
bar because I went with the blue plate
8:18
all right that was pretty dang good good
8:20
southern food very very busy also this
8:23
is interesting these parking spaces here
8:25
are obscuring and blocking off the
8:27
signage to where was a drive-through
8:30
bank that you can't even get to anymore
8:33
you can go in from this way
8:34
but this teller isn't this this telling
8:37
Bank ATM area isn't even open anymore
8:41
it's kind of weird just like a little
8:42
subsidiary overhang from a bank that's
8:45
not open
8:47
next to Fred's very peculiar
8:55
drive through bank not open and
8:55
I can't even go over there there's even
8:56
a tow away Zone
8:58
sign right there and you can't even get
8:59
out that way have drove a couple miles
9:01
over to
9:03
the swan Brewing area see there's a swan
9:06
up there and basically everyone's just
9:08
kind of parked wherever they can find
9:10
parking if you look across the lake past
9:13
the bike lane sign and all that you can
9:16
see all the booths
9:18
over there too as well
9:20
for the Lakeland
9:22
flea market looks as if they have
9:24
blocked off an entire section of the
9:25
Street next to the lakefront and there's
9:27
one of those little windy balloony God
9:29
the little windy balloony guys balloony
9:31
face guys over there waving in the
9:33
breeze there goes some sod
9:47
I would say if any day of the week where
9:47
there are more road closures I think
9:49
Sundays are probably the most road
9:51
closures oh classic classic vehicle
9:53
alert here
10:02
a good celebration to have there
10:02
their Market roads were closed this is
10:06
also roads are closed
10:09
all right I am officially inside the
10:12
vendor area and there are a lot of
10:14
booths in here quite a few boosts more
10:16

Wire Drive where all this took place
18:54
is it always in this area yeah yeah so
18:54
it's always been in the spot this
18:56
is Lakeland in Lakeland it sounds like
18:58
Fort Lauderdale they have a completely
19:00
different location for it but I believe
19:01
it's the same uh then last year they do
19:03
it in Tampa or St Pete I think it was
19:06
Saint Pete they did one over at St Pete
19:08
you're right but normally it's here in
19:09
Lakeland but is it always in this spot
19:11
in Lakeland yes this is always the spot
19:20
they put it on
19:20
I like the back of this guy with the
19:21
Mohawk stack it says hug a punk yeah or
19:24
Punk

19:34
jacket there's like it's like a remember
