Jordan’s Salvage: One man’s trash is another’s treasure
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Many of us who live in Fayetteville are familiar with Jordan’s Salvage.
His array of …umm… “stuff” takes up nearly the entire block at Jeff Davis Blvd. and Ga. 54. There are used rusty bicycles, dilapidated chairs missing legs, old worn out doors and cabinets. There are grimy golf clubs. There is a very old structure that appears to be on the brink of falling down.
You know the place. Like if you move one item out of place, the whole building just might collapse.
If you’ve driven by and saw it for the first time, you just might wonder why such an eyesore exists. But if you take a closer look, you might be surprised. With the push to “go green” and recycle, don’t you think this a perfect place to pick up a second hand item?
Wouldn’t it be a worthy investment to purchase something that needed a little extra cleaning and scraping for the sake of the environment and your wallet?
I know some of you think the whole business should be shut down simply because you just can’t stand the way it looks. But really, in this day and age, don’t you think he’s just like everybody else…trying to make a buck in an honest way?
