“People need the StrangeXchange to offset all the malls and monotony in this area,” The Aquarian Weekly’s publisher Diane Casazza told Patch in October.

“Our vendors make this flea market unlike any other of its kind,” Casazza said. “Their unique interests and attention to abnormal subjects, seen in their collections and art, bring out the weird in all of us. From taxidermy jewelry to candles and soap makers, and recycled treasures to folks who clear out your grandma’s estate… you simply can’t find this stuff anywhere else.”

“If the Addams Family had a garage sale, this would be it,” Casazza added.
