Before Rosey Williams created Indie Flea, Tampa Bay’s wildly popular monthly street market, there was Dog Street.⁠ ⁠ Back in the 1980s and ’90s, the vintage store run by Williams’ parents was a staple of the 600 block of St. Petersburg’s Central Avenue. The Sunshine City was still sleepy back then, but there was a deep sense of community. And, along that strip of Central, lots of great vintage stores.⁠ ⁠ Because Williams grew up in this old-school art community, it makes sense she would start her own vintage shop, Ramblin’ Rose, on the same street. ⁠ ⁠ Ten years ago, the secondhand wonders and artist-made goods spilled out onto the streets when Williams hosted the first Indie Flea market.⁠ ⁠ Her monthly market is still going strong, though it has morphed and grown along with the city.⁠ ⁠ The first Indie Flea of the season, rescheduled after Hurricane Ian, kicks off at noon Sunday in the Grand Central District.⁠ ⁠ As the market enters a new decade, click the link in our bio to read more about its early days and transformation.⁠ ⁠ ✍️ : Gabrielle Calise / Tampa Bay Times & 📷 : @lsantanaphoto / Times (2019) and courtesy of Indie Flea
