Steve it sounds like you are a person that could really care less if a place is clean up or not. And as for the job he has I could care less if he was a Lawyer or what, but no mater what he dose, he needs to clean up that place. There is no problem with them in there front yard, I am just saying they need to clean it up because there is so much ( junk ). If you are such a good friend, help him clean it up. But the real problem here is that this is a residential area, not a place for a business, especially a junk yard. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE IN ( RESIDENTIAL AND A BUSINESS PLACE. ) The Town of Century will surely get worst if they turn this place into a business. The citizens of Century need to speak up and let the town know that they are tired of junk up places and want there town clean up.

Amen Maggie!!!

This world needs a lot more positive people instead of so many hateful ones.
It would make life a whole lot better for everyone!
This site is for commenting ON THE STORY not to tear down and humiliate people. If you get such a thrill from doing that to other people, then maybe you should sit back and take some serious self inventory~and learn to be nicer!
Also, maybe you should go back and reread the rules for making posts on here.

William is a hard worker, to the best of his ability, with his disabilities. He has helped so many people; he’s the type to give someone the shirt off his back to help them. We know William personally, and he would NOT ‘pay off’ anyone for any reason. The young man staying there does help William with loads and mechanicing in exchange for staying there.
Any one who knows anything about hauling metal for money…if it’s a load of ‘mixed’ metals you don’t get much for it, but if it is a full load of one type you get a lot more for it.
The council needs to get off his back and tend to their own and quit being such bullies. Quit oppressing the small man that may not be as financially well off as they are!
If you ask me…I think the yard right down from him with all the artificial flowers stuck all out in the front yard looks very tacky ~ JUNKY!
Maybe people should get all the facts, not just opinions, before jumping on someone they don’t even know!
And about the kids playing in the road…you go down to about any subdivision in Pensacola that has kids, and you have to come to a complete stop and wait for them to get out of the road where they are playing ball, etc…and I’m referring to ‘nice’ ‘fancy’ subdivisions.
And it’s up to William and his family to where they want their pinic table, chairs, or swing to hang out~this is supposed to be America~land of the free! Their front yard is the shady part of the yard…it would take a moron to want to set them up and hang out in the boiling sun in the summer…so what does that say about the one who said they should be moved to the back yard???
We appreciate all the mechanic help he has given us over the years!

I am only 17 and have epilepsy so no I can’t drink or drive nor would I if I could! But I did just donate all my coke cans and scrap metal to a needy family. Don’t be so silly, I did’t say it was ok for anyone to drink and drive.
Im just saying that NorthEscambia.Com is used as a forum to put people down. That the legal system and our heavely father will judge them and that we should not! THese people are having enough trouble without all the negative responses posted on this site.
We should all love one another. Maybe you should help this gentleman find another job since they are so hard to come by and he would remove his recycling business.
Think of it positive things he is doing by recycling used metal to keep the earth clean. I agree it should all be behind his privacy fence and taken to the recyclers on a regular basis but ….every man has a right to make a living.

Rezoning? In the Historic District? The district is hanging by a thread to stay qualified. Making it permissable for a junk yard to stay might just take the thread and break it in two.

If he is willing to pay toward the costs for the actually rezoning, I am sure he will follow guidelines set up by the city. This could actually set up the area so that more businesses could open up. Everyone should be allowed to make a living and rezoning laws are changed all the time for small businesses.
Take a look at all your dog grooming and hair cutting businesses inside the residentual areas of Flomation that you are not complaining about. Should all these nice people have to move their businesses, Im sure they are not in a comercial zoned area. Just because you dont like his business you cant just pick on one person, remember you could be affecting alot of other small businesses if Mr Phylaw decides to bring this issue before the council.
