Good Flea Markets/Consignment Shops in Baltimore?
I'm moving to Baltimore (Charles Village) next week and wondering if there are any good places for buying used/antique furniture in the city. I like to find cool older pieces and fix them up to make them more modern. I'm not looking for high-brow antique shops, I'm looking for relatively affordable places with a neat mix of stuff. I think I read somewhere that Hampden may be a good place for that, but I'm not sure...
Thanks for your help!

Here today, gone tomorrow
The antiques scene in Baltimore is in a continuous state of flux. Hampden seems to be emerging as the latest hot spot. Howard Street's decline continues. Fells Point is relatively stable.
Look at all those places. Talk to vendors, get their opinions. However, if you are seriously into restoring the place to go to is the weekly Crumpton auction on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Dixon's Furniture Auction - Crumpton, MD It's acres and acres of furniture. That's where all dealers go.

My favorite store for older furniture is Oakenshawe in Hampden. They have really nice stuff, and some of it is surprisingly affordable. Mid-century funky things are especially affordable since they're not antiques.

North Point Plaza Flea Market in Dundalk, off of 695 next to Wal-Mart. It's pretty big with lots of good booths. I go there all the time. And the Amish sell pies and what not.

Does anyone know anything about "Traditions" in Hampden? The City Paper web site "Best of Baltimore 2006" listed that as the best place for used furniture.

I haven't been to Hampden in ages. It's changed a lot since I moved here. You'd do well to just drive over there and check out all of the stores, since there are several fun shops. If you're in the market for some funky clothes, make sure to hit DoubleDutch Boutique. And Ma Petite Shoe for...shoes and chocolate!

^ carolott, I was just reading your location, and my brother lived in Pigtown and we always joked about how no one really calls it Washington Village. The other day I heard some yuppies call it that though. It will always be Pigtown to me. Washington Village has been done before, it's too generic. Pigtown is unique. BTW, I love that one mural of the pigs being herded to the slaughter.

The only people who say "Washington Village" are realtors, and nobody pays attention to what realtors think. ;-)
