Though this isn't the jumbo type of hardware store that has everything, they are a nice and basic shop that can satisfy basic needs. The staff can be very helpful and will try to answer your questions. The store is bigger than it appears from the outside because they do have a basement area. However, it is on the smaller size, and they do't always have what you need. They do largely cater the younger condo and apartment crowd, so they carry all of the staples. They are right across from the end of the C line (Cleveland Circle stop). Parking can be a true challenge, but their bread and butter is the crowd that is going to walk here from the surrounding neighborhood. Not a good place for decorative items, but you never know what random thing they might have (especially in Sept. when they're gearing up for all the students moving in).
