Here in Port Lavaca we have a REAL hardware store. Third generation
In Response To: Sad that the big box stores have replaced real hardware stores... ()
Been there over 100 years. City wanted to tear it down as "unsightly, etc", so it got placed on the Registry of Historic places. Safe now.
And there is a WONDERFUL hardware store in Cocoa Beach Florida. Two three story buildings, with a catwalk between on the second floor, and nine small outside units. They have folks waiting inside the door to guide you to what you want, cause if you aren't familiar with the place, you'll spend HOURS looking. I've been there twice and each time took me several hours to get out. Neat!!
