I think this was also a skating rink at one point. The Flea market was strange. I remember some hippie used to sell incense and the place stunk like a Berkeley dormroom.

i beleive this structure is still mostly there and is where navarro pharmacy and several other stores reside. i remember as a kid this place catching fire but not being torn down. i think they gutted it and turned it into a strip mall sometime in the early 80's.
