I can't quite read the name of the market in the distance.
To me, the sign looks like "EL MONTE PUBLIC MARKET".

I noticed that the photo is being sold by the same Ebay vendor as the McDaniel's Midnight Market photo that you posted recently.

Additionally, both have multiple hanging scales, large white price tickets, crates/stands to the sidewalk and similar awnings. The design of the protruding part of the McDaniel's sign seems to match the portion to the left of the windmill in the first picture. Finally, the glass enclosure(?) at the far right of the store looks the same in both photos, and both stores have a hanging neon sign that reads "VEGETABLES".
