The "Town Junk Yard" used to be a favorite site to explore back in the 1950s. I pretended to "drive" at age 10 behind the wheel of a rusted-out Ford Model A with no tires or window glass. Later, around 1968, I found over 80 LIFE magazines from 1938-1959 dumped in a different junk yard. 10 minutes after I loaded them all into my car, it started pouring rain. I still have them, after reading every one.
