I am truly saddened to see the passing of such a great tradition. It was always a thrill to find unexpected treasures. I made a few good friends out there and many acquaintances. 60 years of tradition and gone in the blink of an eye. I truly hope someone comes along and donates the use of their pasture in a neighboring town for this tradition to continue. I know many of these vendors lived out of their cars and counted on this weekly income.

It is a sad thing when Southlake thinks they are too upscale for tradition. Instead of doing away with it the city of Southlake shoul have invested in improving the grounds to bring in more vendors and attract more business. Maybe Grapevine will find it to be a good fit and prosper from it.

Closing this is sad, but much of the crime in the area is attributed to this flea market. Not to mention the liability the landowner has which I believe is the Stacy Family. Sorry to see it go, like so many other traditions - it just does not fit our society any more. Take a drive down to Canton if you are looking for a garage sale.

The nurturing Moon continues to move through your eleventh house of friends and associates, possibly bringing a mentor into your life. There is always much wisdom that can be gained by observing the lives of others; you can avoid certain mistakes by watching them made by others. In this case, you may be faced with financial or sexual issues as Jupiter shakes things up in your eighth house of sex, money, and power... if the stakes are high, you need to think twice.
