There are two in MO 1. Kirksville Vacuum Center on North Baltimore right across from Hy-Vee. The owner has PILES of vacuums upstairs in his house, on the salesfloor, and in his storage unit. 2. House of Vacuums in Sedalia. John, the owner, has a storage area across the street from his shop where I found a couple gems | ||

It's a graveyard dude.
It's supposed to be creepy, ZOOOINKS! When upon the midnight hour tolls...aloft velvet black wings the vacuum cleaners bones are fleshed and take their wicked flight into the blackness of their mother night...to feast they upon the innocence of the orphaned and lost. Shall any find refuge , nay , many shall seek it and not find it, for a panoply of fiendish horrors - the hoplite's of terror await to recompense their abusers...to be awarded their pound of grievous flesh upon whomsoever they might fall upon. I must now most solemnly warn you the reader, Beware of the vacuums which raise they forth upon the witching's dark hour...you must repay vengeance upon whomsoever is beheld among you, both far and wide whom defiles a vacuum, and perhaps the shadow of the curse will be dispelled from out of our midst and our firesides, or maybe not, so you had better watch out! What's that behind your chair...BOOO! Happy Halloween, it will be here soon enough.

Calamity, all the humanity! It's as if the whole world has been turned upside down at the sight of that most dreadful pile. It's almost akin to seeing baby seals being stalked by blood drunk baseball-bat wielding dropouts. Light the torches - rally the peasants and start handing out the pitchforks! Oh, don't worry about it, what can you do. A most interesting photo in a sad way.

I was reading through some of the posts above and realized something.
How is this site of vacuum cleaners on a dumpsite any different to what you see now at every dumpsite around the world? You may say that the ones we throw away now are rubbish plastic vacs but these vacuum's in these photo's above were the plastic vacs of their day. For most of us our love of vacuums stems from childhood and of a particular model our parents, aunts uncles , or grandparents had. Our hunt and excitement of finding the model we remember from all those years back. Now imagine this thread in 30 years time when someone posts a pic of those rubbish Eureka maxima's or Bissell powerforce models lined up in there hundreds at the recycling plant awaiting their fate of been crushed and recycled. Imagine what the future ones of us will say. " How could they throw away all those vacuums like that" Remember it may be a piece of junk to us but some were out there is a little vacuum kid very fond of his mothers Eureka airspeed and in 20 years time will be searching high and low to find the exact model his mom used to use. Just a thought | ||

I know exactly what your saying and I don't want to seem disagreeable, but to all of our misfortune and perhaps even to our greater detriment it seems in the age we're all now forced to live, that all quality is sacrificed upon the alter of greed and lack of service. In this cheaply mass produced, throwaway, plastic, recopied, non-original, cultureless, repackaged society - most sadly we find as we drive down the highways we can all quit plainly see the evidences of this retched truth in the regurgitated architecture of Wal-Mart and McDonald clones miring the scenery and indigenous landscape. In this so called advancement of the species peoples and dialects are absorbed into a new class of automatons to be programed to be connoisseurs of crap and the mundane. A good analogy would be a comparison between CGI and vintage animation, whereas the illustrators were able to imbue their personalities into the characters they created, whereas today's CGI is soulless,lifeless and flat and totally none responsive to any emotional need. Another point of fact is that you don't seem to see many people collecting cars from the 1980's, or much of anything else, and I can only answer that companies and their stock holders love money more than quality and the consumer, and we're all paying for it over, and over, and over again. Something sinister and quit dramatic happened in the 70's and it remains still to this very day. I know I'm taking a bit of a shotgun approach to it, but there are some exceptions, not many, but some.
