Plants galore are available alongside aisles of produce at the market.
During the last leg of the 2itch tour on our way from Atlanta back to Jacksonville, we decided to stop by the Atlanta State Farmer’s Market which is open 24 hours a day, 364 days a year (closed Christmas day). It’s located in Forest Park, GA just off Highway 75. According to their fact sheet, it’s one of the largest markets in the world with 150 acres of farm fresh goodies and appoximately 3,500 patrons each day. The setup is definitely interesting–you can just drive your car through the stalls and park your car next to the vendor you want to purchase from. It’s a pretty busy place with Mariachi music blasting from boomboxes at every turn, echoing through the metal roofed stalls. It does seem like you have to buy your produce in bulk since it looked like everything came in large boxes. There are also plant vendors as well as spices, toys, decorations, etc. It was really an amazing place. There are actually numerous farmer’s markets such as this across the southeast, but apparently this is the largest. I know on the west coast I have never heard of anything like it.
Check out this clip of us driving through just ONE of the many stalls in the market. It’s so big that you can’t walk around it… you literally have to drive your car through it. It’s drive through shopping at its best.
As the editor of 2itch.com, I get to find all the places across the nation that are open up way past my bedtime. I'm a wanderer by nature, so finding late night grub, coin-operated racquetball, and slushies in the middle of the night has been a lot of fun for me. And I'm sure there's a lot of other wanderers out there who would find this information useful... so enjoy and drop me a line when you find some cool 24 hour places of your own.

I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job!
