Archwood Street Fair June 7, 2008
Cleveland, Ohio 44109
This is the annual Archwood Street Fair of renown. We've been having it for so many years now I have to ask somebody else when it all started--I think it was in 1980-something. Originally, we tried to sell a lot of rehab and restoration items as well as antiques, and that is still the basic purpose. It now also functions as a way for all of us to clean house, so it's taken on aspects of the huge neighborhood garage sale as well. Some of us who don't live on Archwood actually haul our stuff in the night before. The inventory is usually pretty good.
Further, some entrepreneurs now set up food stands and assorted flea market venues. It's a real melting pot...Open source.
It's also ideal for bicycles and walking.
The stated hours are from 9 AM-6 PM on Saturday and 10 AM-5 PM on Sunday, and some people stay open a little longer, and some people wrap up early.

The Friends of Cleveland Public Library will also be holding a booksale in the lot adjacent to the Brooklyn Branch Library 11-4 on Saturday, June 7th. Cleveland Public Library is liquidating the VHS collection, so teachers, this is your big chance to build your video library for the fall classes. It's also a great chance to see a REAL neighborhood.
