Crowds pushing shopping carts stroll through the grounds, consuming heroic quantities of junk food and observing the outlandish garb that customers wear as part of the ritual. Henry Cortez, a robust Mexican American, sports a huge straw hat and tows Grandson Douglas around in a wooden wagon. "This is my flea-market hat," says Cortez, who has been going to the San Jose market almost every weekend since 1960. "And this is my flea-market wagon. I come to visit people...
