It’s crazy that we have to explain this, but here we go. A news page like ours operates on information over scanners, shared news articles, and rumors or opinions to seek the truth. This morning, as in today, the Lakewood News Network shared a current article on Instagram about the pending sale or redevelopment of the Flea Market site. The Lakewood News Network is a pretty legit source, they’re not as biased as Lakewood Poop.
A sale took place back in 2015-2016 of the property as we reported and other media outlets. If you pay for Asbury Park Bird Cage Liner, you can likely search their archives. Plans were even released showing the placement of apartments, stores, etc- as in someone invested time and money into this. Nobody knows how long the Flea Market has the lease for, and they responded publicly stating they’re staying open. We hope so too- we’re here to support local small businesses.
However, with the scarcity of land and lack of any interest to thwart overdevelopment, we all know that won’t be a Flea Market forever, the question should be exactly how long it has left, and hopefully how to find another site to operate a Flea Market.
It’s amazing the lack of common sense and basic understanding that people have today!
If this was our full-time job, we would likely have found new careers by now!
F the haters

Driving down 9 in lake Saturday night n me n my friend were like wtf is that smell of a 10yr old ash tray n look to the right n booom dumpster on fire 0 cops 0 fore dep …..that damn smell though. I seriously hate Lakewood…but anyway a jew is most def buying the market n turning it to town houses or apartment
Lizzkid Merriman Do you know why they were burning what you smelled? Do you also know that the fire department Are the ones that supplied that community with those dumpsters. It’s a Jewish holiday and what you do is you burn the food that is not kosher for Passover during this time. It’s their religion and why does it bother you so much? If they burn anything down will be their own neighborhoods. As far as them purchasing anything you’re disgusting the way you describe it are the ones that supplied that community with those dumpsters. It’s a Jewish holiday and what you do is you burn the food that is not kosher for Passover during this time. It’s their religion and why does it bother you so much? If they burn anything down will be their own neighborhoods. As far as them purchasing any properties, apparently seems as if they have the money for it. I’m not sure where all this hatred comes from but it’s actually quite disturbing and disgusting. Everybody talks about how their neighborhood is disgusting or what they did to their neighborhood it’s so run down it’s so low class it’s this it’s that why the hell do you guys go in that neighborhood?
They would love that they had their own little world and no one trespassed.They purchase most properties by forcing residents who aren’t Jews out.How?By purchasing the property next door and renting to drug dealers.FACT
I hope whoever buys it leaves it a flea market
“A Jew”? I don’t like the building developments either! But obviously you don’t like them.
Not all Jewish people are Hasidic or Orthodox
It’s now being marketed as retail stores!
David. This is what I heard 2 years ago from a good source, dont know how true, but sounds right…..
“They” bought the flea market and bowling alley. They are keeping the bowling open for investment for now.
As for the fleas, I hear it’s in a swamp/marsh area so they cant build until they straighten that out.
It’s not true it’s a rumor
Went 1 time to this flea mkt, 15 or so years ago, wasn’t impressed…Meadowlands Flea Market & Columbus Flea Mkt are where the cool kids go
“They” will build their bs…And they will sue anyone that won’t allow “whatever” they want
