So I was going to the annual Ralston Creek Flea market in Iowa City. It's moved to a location across from the Old Train Depot. So I lucked out and got an excellent parking spot and of course I'm on the wrong side of the tracks and had to wait for a train.....So I snapped a few pics of the depot-it's really a very cool building.

| See here's the train I was waiting on-I kinda like the graffiti |
See these are the bricks out front by the tracks, they say Des Moines on them, must have been a pretty good brick manufacturer there. Wouldn't it seem funny to get off the train back in the day in Iowa City and have the bricks say Des Moines..I'd worry I was in the wrong place!!!
There were a ton of vendors there. Everything from furniture, to books, and nick-knacks , and there was music! A very wonderful group with an old fashioned Irish type of sound, they were very good!
It looked like it might rain so I think the crowds were a little small but I could see quite a few more folks arriving as I was leaving. And I didn't buy ANYTHING! Even though I totally wanted those see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil monkeys sitting there by the guitars!!!!
