## Vintage hunting on Lancaster Ave
Phila Flea Markets sets up an outdoor vintage and antique market near Drexel University on Saturday, Sept. 26. Shoppers come for clothing, furniture and collectibles.
## Free, and all day
The market runs 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 3400 Lancaster Ave. in University City. Admission costs nothing, so you can drop in for ten minutes or stay for hours.
## Rain has a backup plan
If Saturday washes out, the market moves to Sunday, Sept. 27. Worth noting before you write off a gray forecast.
## Closets and living rooms
Vendors bring vintage clothing, hats, handbags and accessories, plus antique furniture, artwork, pottery, jewelry and home decor.
