Sometimes in life you need a nudge.

Right when you’re on the verge of stepping out into the world, your reservations for the routine can keep you on the merry-go-round called boring.

Now I’m not saying merry-go-rounds aren’t fun…. But work with me Helen, there’s a whole big world out there that’s dying to meet you.

So consider me your nudge, and consider this my invitation for you to check out the brand spanking new, first day of school, East Side Flea!

Read on to learn three reasons why you’ll want to go.

The Food.
Is it even The Cleveland Flea if someone isn’t talking about the food? Myself with my support from my friend, Instagram, says you need to check out the food. I mean, have you seen the pictures? They’re just so… hanger inducing!  Sorry, I had to wipe the drool off my keyboard. I only was shocked once in the process. Myself, being the proud Clevelander I am is looking forward to the Pierogi Lady and Burning River Bagels... They’re Flea famous. Treat yourself this Sunday, don’t wait.

The Shopping.
If anything, The Cleveland Flea is your chance to dive into the world of makers and doers to find your version of “Holy shit, did you see that! That’s so cool!” If you’re looking for unique gifts, The Cleveland Flea is your friend. From unique clothing, to plants and even your obsession with crafted jewelry, The Flea offers all these options plus more. Put on your sporty sneakers and enjoy the hunt for your next favorite purchase.

The People.
At the end of the day, it’s all about the people. It’s always about the people. The Cleveland Flea is a melting pot of personality; from the creatives, to the shoppers, to the doers, to the dreamers. In my opinion, the Flea is a great place to make a new friend and get in touch with the community. This Sunday, The Cleveland Browns will be aired at The Flea so you can experience heart break with strangers on a whole-other level. Also… let me address the elephant in the room… THIS IS A NEW EVENT, don’t you want to be apart of history? I thought so. Put a smile on your face and we’ll see you Sunday.
