I'm here in Columbus for a mointh or so, just wondering if anybody knows of a cool junkyard or two I should check out? I took the interstates to get here, so I didn't see a whole lot on the way out. thanks!
Thanks to the epa, most are gone. There is one out by Nelson Ledges, if you decide to come up to cleveland area, let me know. Maybe I can sell you some of my junk
South of Dayton is a place called Stark Wrecking. Have heard they still have a lot of parts. http://dayton.craigslist.org/pts/2088229750.html 7081 Germantown Pike Miamisburg, OH 45342-1111 (937) 866-5032
Are those big yards in Crestline still around? I haven't been out that way in a long time. Toad Moyer is the name I remember. They were huge, as I recall.
Travel south on I-71, watch for the exit for Mt. Sterling. You can see Warners junkyard from the highway. They do not have anything newer than 70, and go back to the 30s. The owner is easy to deal with and will let you go back and look around for what you want.
The guy from Stark Wrecking called me the other day. Only yard outside of Dayton that I believe is left.
If you make it down to Cincinnatti, check out Jungle Jim's grocery store. www.junglejims.com Trust me on this one Largest grocery store in the world, and it's almost like an indoor amusement park. Go on a saturday if you can for the free samples. Also, try a skyline chili restaurant.
