LETTER: Junkyard not the area’s desired image

Homeowners who take pride in their homes do not want to live beside a junkyard, which also attracts unwanted animals.

A Blewett junkyard is drawing mixed opinions.

Re: “Why the fuss over Blewett junkyard?”

Does this individual not realize this is not the Kootenay image we are trying to portray? Homeowners who take pride in their homes do not want to live beside a junkyard, which also attracts unwanted animals.

We live in such a beautiful area. Why do some people feel it is okay to junk it up with garbage and old vehicles? My question is: do some people feel it is a status symbol to have junk on their properties? “Kootenay image,” I think not.
