Yuma Sun article.

It's like a ghost town now...no traffic!

Yeah, Gemstone, saw that. It would be interesting how they get their numbers. I do know one thing, the oil money in Alberta sure brought alot of new trucks down here.

Folks we spent many winters with in Del Pueblo are moving on now to places like Apache Junction and Casa Grande.

Some have even hung up the spurs and joined us buying property in Fla to access cheaper airfare and direct flight abilities out of Ontario.

Boomers bring all sorts of checks and balances to the equation with their disposable income allowing travel but aging also causing an aversion to continued interstate battle.


Today is just the tomorrow you worried about yesterday!

The flea market was foreclosed recently. It may not be there next year & maybe the old one will get busy again if it's still there??

If you want info on the ill-faded Arizona Marketplace search the Yuma Sun. www.yumasun.com This is ongoing saga. Dan Dinwiddie is a real class act. If you happen to own property at 32nd and 5E Dan would like to talk to you. Some friends of ours were dropping their MH off at the market place for summer storage on Sunday 4-16 before heading back to PNW. Were met at the entrance gate by security and said no way! "You probably lost your $400 but at least you have your MH". I went down and counted about 21 units stored there. How would you like to contact those people? I think the judge scheduled a July sell date.

"Open under new management"..?

hottubkid....

Are you suggesting you have information that trumps the recent Yuma Sun article ? http://www.yumasun.com/news/court-78613-dinwiddie-property.html.

WE didn't go to the AZ Market joint this year. Have more fun and get better buys at the Dog Track Swap Meet. We call it The Mexican Swap Meet. The food is great. And they didn't charge for Thurs or Friday.
And some vendors give you free entry tickets when you buy from them.

Where is the dog track swap meet held? The old swap meet I was referring to is the Yuma ParknSwap on 4th Ave.
