I should probably preface this with the fact that I love the whole "A" Street community and part of me wants to keep it small (like it was about 17 years ago, before there were Art Galleries everywhere), so when I walk into the old hardware store I am always glad it's still there. I think it is the only place in town where you can get free popcorn and coffee while you are browsing.
One of the reasons why this store is so popular is because the employees are fantastic. They will always greet you, ask if they can help you find something and then leave you alone if you just want to look around. They are also very helpful if you need advice on how to fix something.
And finally I just have to mention that even the local birds love this store. Sit outside if the weather is nice enough and you'll see what I mean.
It's a good place!
