We were on vacation one time in Solvang, California. For those who’ve never been, the whole town has been built to resemble a California fantasy of a Danish community. Every store in town sells tourist-oriented stuff. Candy, tee shirts, and dust collectors of all kinds. Every store, except the Ace Hardware store right in the middle of town. We spent an hour there, not buying anything, just decompressing from the rest of the town.
A good stand alone hardware will have things the big boxes don’t have. This store has bits and pieces in the plumbing dept. that a big box wont have.

For good power tools: A counter man at the Fastenal industrial store told me how the home store product is made overseas and if for example; you buy a Bosch battery powered tool from them [Fastenal] that it is US made in Illinois. The home store product battery has a one year guarantee while the home built drill/etc. battery has a 5 year guarantee.

Hope Broomie doesn’t have an Imelda Marcos moment, then Gaylord will never see her again!

I hate to shop. Online shopping is the best for someone like me.

While Gaylord probably does not need any hardware, Broomie, on the other hand, could definitely use a new, improved, more stylish pair of shoes!
