I hadn't thought about going to a flea market in a long time. Then a couple of weeks ago, I was driving into Chicago on a Sunday. As I passed by the one in the Allstate Arena parking lot, it brought back lots of great memories.

Illinois is home to many great flea markets, especially the outdoor ones during the summer season. They're so big, you could take hours exploring through on the booths to find so good stuff. Here are ten that come highly recommended.
