Texas Tavern / Happy's Flea Market

The Texas Tavern a Roanoke land mark. An all night diner that hops between the hours of midnight and 3am. Sort of like Schwartz's in Montreal, only the staff is surlier and the food is greasier.

Happy's Flea Market is an experience all to its own. It has to be seen to be believed. They have a permanent indoor section as well as an outdoor section.

Records, nothing but records as far as the eye could see


Another hallway of records. There was a second store in addition to this that had just as many records
