Scrape yard near Lakeville NY

Anyone around central New York know what's the deal with the scrap yard near Lakeville NY that used to belong to Bill Knapp. I know it became known as Don's place but the last two times down there no one was around and the place was wide open. Is he out of business? I've made a lot of trips down there over the years and bought a lot of stuff. Hate to see it go out of business even if it is overgrown with brush. I loved just looking around as it was a trip back in farm history.

From what I understand Don is Bill's nephew. Of course Bill has been gone for a while now and the place does not look like there has been much activity other than maybe hauling away some scrap. Livonia and most of the other communities around Coneseus Lake are getting built up. Don may figure at some point in the not too distant future that may be a problem for his business. I agree it was a treat to walk around there back a few decades ago with all the different equipment there. Somebody said years ago one of Bill's relatives used to be an IH dealer in the community.
