PM junkyardjeff; I think he's visited every yard in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.

 

I don't know anything about the yard, but it really pisses me off when new comers build expensive houses next to something that was there WAY before them, then turn around and bitch about it. I live in an area that was mostly farms, then a new highway came through, and the city folks started flooding in for the lower taxes, and now they're bitchin' about the smell of cow shit! We've got an old dirt track and you can hear the cars running every friday night for miles around, it's one of my favorite things about living here (friday night music), but I wonder how long it'll be before the "noise" offends the delicate senses of these assholes and they try to close it too. The roads aren't good enough, the schools aren't good enough, the fire department, the police, the shopping etc. etc., and guess what, now the taxes are going up to meet these yuppies "NEEDS". All they did was destroy what was good here, and drag all their shit out here (including their brat kids), yes, my property values have gone way up, but there's more to life ya know, this place was a little slice of paradise. Sorry about the rant.

 

I noticed this:

"Would you like a working junkyard in your neighborhood? "

Uh, hell yeah.

Some of us would appreciate this kind of convenience.

I am trying to move out of the city, back out to the country where i grew up. I want room for a big shop and space to put all my junk. I don't want to see my neighbors at all. That way they can't bitch all the time about me not being Martha Stewart and spending all my time and money on a flower bed. If a bunch of idiots follow me out there and ruin my plan, I will be pissed.

 

The old junkyard is right inside the east edge of Baltimore. The older gentleman that recently passed away was pretty selective about only letting people he knew take parts off of cars or selling them parts. Most of the cars were from 50's and up. He had several 30's and 40's cars in there-but were pretty much rusted into the ground. Frames were bad and the bottom foot or so of the cars were gone. But some interior parts were still good. The heirs cleaned up the yard by bringing in a crusher, so most of the old stuff is gone. A select few people were told ahead of time by the relatives-so only a few parts were save/pulled before the crusher got there. The yard was pretty well overgrown and you would not know there were old cars/trucks back in the woods. The front of the lot is only 200 feet wide even with the house and outbuildings-but the property goes way back in the woods and behind/between the older houses and the new houses. I can kinda see the peoples complaint as this was never a real working junkyard as it will be now as a "pick and pull".

 

I wouldnt be surprized if the guy who bought it is just pulling a stunt so he can sell it and make a big profit. 2 acres sure wouldnt give much room for a junk yard?

 

I don't think so. He is a car guy just like us.

 

No shit. That kind of bull shit has happened around here as well, and all over the country I am sure. From junkyards to race tracks and to farms and woods. People want to move farther and farther out to live in a new home for a few years then move even farther out when it gets to congested. What Assholes.
