Law / Starting a car junkyard in Poland [27]
That's a good reason why the junkyard business may end up being very lucrative. It can be a win win situation for both the buyer & seller. When my old car needed some parts, I went to Ecology Auto Wrecking. Found the parts I needed, at a fraction of the cost, as opposed to buying them new from the dealership. Only problem... if the part you've picked from the car doesn't work, you're probably stuck with it.
The junkyard weighed it and gave me just over 300PLN. To be honest, I'd have paid that to get it out of my sight.

I wouldn't expect it to be a major hot spot. It could be something similar to the Polish Club in Phoenix, Az. They aren't open regularly like nightclubs. Basically, open for special occasions, such as Polka dances.
is it a club or a lounge?

I wouldn't consider the men I had seen, with Polish females, at the Polish festival to be ugly. Just a little mismatched imo. Saw quite a few Poles (both females & males) with Asian mates. Even saw a female with a Native American guy, including a very long braided ponytail.
