Re: [FWDLK] Junkyard closing.

["Ron Waters" <Ronbo97@xxxxxxxx>]

This is really bad news !  I first went there over twenty years ago.  In
fact, this was the first old car junkyard that I ever visited.

I was last there about a year ago and I was still finding stuff .  This was
probably the largest yard I've ever seen.  You need a full day to see
everything.  But Nick's right, it's very picked over and rusty.

Any idea when they are closing up ?  When did you find out about this ?
