I'd bet all the money I could get my hands on it was there long before 1991. It had that look, you know...ramshackle tin shed with junk pouring out of it everywhere. The sort of shed that looked like it might have been built before somebody learned to draw plans, a small beat-up office connected to the shed with the door flopped open and connected only by the bottom hinge, an ancient 7UP machine tucked under an overhang that was flopping up and down in the breeze, a drive-across vehicle scale that looked like several people had been digging around trying to steal it (before they figured out how much it and the concrete pad weighed). I would be surprised if this place hadn't been there since at least 1950. Too many really old vehicles. That isn't the only yard around Roswell as you probably remember. There are several over on the south side, all in the city limits, and much smaller. Some look like they occupy what was once a back yard. Everyone I talked to said the guy had died a long time ago and the story was he left no family. It is outside the city limits so just county property. Maybe somebody wants to turn this into little ranchettes or something. A fellow bought a wrecking yard like this south of Dallas, had a landing strip for small aircraft built and sold lots to people. I doubt he got rich but he didn't have to live in the city.
