Niles District Fremont, CA September 21, 1998

If you squint your eyes, and imagine horses and buggies running around, then you can probably picture what Niles may have looked like 75 years ago or so. Looking around the historical buildings are hints of a time when buildings didn't consist of strictly apartment living and the ornamentation gave each building a unique look. Sometime around the end of August or so the entire downtown, as well as 6 blocks in all directions, become a massive flea market. Or garage sale. Whatever you call it, it's a massive event. The town comes to a halt for everyone to unload their junk. Both good junk and bad junk can be found, and lots of it. Just outside of Niles is the cool Niles Canyon area. We'll plan on checking this out on another trip.
