Hardware stores

[Jonathan Best]

Those only exist in the big cities now where there's not enough room  
for a Big Box.  We had one in Brooklyn... just one storefront with  
more of what you needed than an entire Home Depot on the edge of town  
cause the kid who helped me would say to his dad, hey that's the  
second guy who asked for a 3 mm whosamawidget with 33 threads pi with  
nutcases on both ends and the dad would say, "well son you better  
order that."
