Are there any big junkyards near Indianapolis?
Are there any big (and preferably abandoned) junkyards near Indianapolis, IN or Bloomington, IN?
I'm looking for something like this (not necessarily that big):
My research in Google and on Google Maps only gave some very small junkyards adjacent to auto parts stores.
Best Answer
There is/was a sizeable junkyard associated with Bloomington Auto Parts, just north of Bloomington. It was clearly visible from SR-37 back before the I-69 project, and while I no longer live in the area, I would be surprised if it had been moved since then.
Note that the aerial imagery used by Google predates the I-69 project, and does not accurately show the roads in the vicinity. (The map layer presumably does show these roads correctly.) Also note that the location marked for Bloomington Auto Parts on Google Maps is approximately 2/3 mile south of where the junkyard itself is located.
(I have no affiliation with Bloomington Auto Parts.)
