I drove my Red SuperDuty.
Parked front row, to the left of the offices.
Yes, EVERYONE knows Arthur. The question is... since when?
Did you know him before he owed the salvage yard?
When you buy stuff at the yard, who prices you out?

Don't particularly care for North Smithfield Auto Salvage, even though I live right on Pound Hill. Don't like how they yank the engines out of most of the yard cars, don't care for the yard entrance fee, selection isn't that great, couple that with terrible phone service, and the generally quite rude chain-smoker who sits in the front office most of the time - I'd rather just go to Henry's.

I don't personally know Arthur, but many people I know do.

If I were the average consumer, I would have to agree with you 100% on all statements above.
I personally know Arthur, and the most the Chain-smoker gets from me is an "HI" as I walk past him and go into the yard.
Henrys used to be GREAT.
But since the new owners took over they scrapped all the vintage iron, and only keep 87 or newer trucks, at best. Henrys has turned into a pick a part trash heap.
Even when Henrys had a yard fee I never paid it because I was there probally 4 days a week getting stuff. Now I go to Henrys just for a quick look see once in a blue moon.
I got lucky today and got those seats, but I still need one more pair for my 56 crew cab project truck.
Normally I spend 2 bucks to get exercise at Henrys and leave empty handed.

Yeah I remember a few years ago they used to have the neat old vintage trucks. Used to be the "Memory Lane" section on their website.
I remember the first time going their looking for parts for my '87 Ranger, and it took me less then a minute to find one. Now there's very few 80s and earlier vehicles.
Henry's works great for my people like my friend with the Comanche, and other newer-but-still-old vehicles. Despite the "oversight" of the new management, I still think it is one of the better yards around. Not too many of them still let you go into the yards.

Henrys is good if u have an import or 10 year old late model ford/chevy truck.
If you need something newer or much older forget it.
Your right that its one of the few yards left thwt let u walk around unsupervised.
If i didnt make or have friends at some of these yards i would never be able to walk around them.
Happy hunting!!!

We're going to take advantage of "Super Tuesday" at CinemaWorld in Lincoln before we see it.

Evening all, hope your day was good.
The movie was pretty good. LONG.... but good.
They certainly could have cut the movie down a bit and got the same results. after all running time was around 3 hours with trailers.
Given the choice of watching the dark night rises or Ted a second time, I choose TED!

Super Tuesdays at Cinemaworld
While other theatres wage a war on your wallet, Cinemaworld is here to help. With Super Tuesdays, movies are just $6, all day long*. That's a savings of up to 37%! There's no better way to see Hollywood's biggest movies for such a small amount! Click here for showtimes!
*Not valid for Special Events, Surcharge applies for 3D Films
*DARK KNIGHT RISES
You could always go to a morning show, which is what I did and still paid the super tuesday rate. 12 bucks total for the wife and I.
