ROANOKE CO. (WSLS 10) - Vendor's at Happy's Flea Market in Roanoke are staying positive despite being kicked out the building after Roanoke City workers said the structure is unsafe.

Georgia Grogans has been at the flea market for about 8 months. She said like other vendors she was shocked she had to move her items outside.

The market was closed indefinitely after city inspectors found the building dangerous for both customers and vendors.

Inspectors found the roof leaking and electrical wiring that wasn't up to code.

Grogans said even though she had to move, she feels this could be something good in the long run.

"I look at it like this, but that doesn't stop our business, I believe we'll just bring the party outside, and the weather is in our favor,"  Grogans said.
