I miss 'hardware' stores. the Neighborhood hardware store.
yes, I understand the ramifications of that statement.. and why we have super walmarts and home depots and lowes.. etc etc etc..

But I miss them none the less.

If I had my druthers.. I would own/operate a small hardware store, somewhere in middle america in a small town. Back before we had Home Depots

We used to have a small hardware store out here on hwy 1, just before 1 and 71 split going north.. I remember one day some years ago, heading south into town, we passed up this hardware store, on the way back, it had been COMPLETELY LEVELED by a tornado.. it was very surreal.
