Hardware stores

[Barbara Richmond]

We have two excellent Do-it-Best Hardware Stores in the Peoria area (one in Peoria, one near Peoria), that are the best places in the area for service and merchandise.  No creaky wooden floors, though....

  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."

        My favorites are the old stores with the creaky wooden floors, narrow aisles, you can buy nails by the pound, and the ubiquitous older owner in evidence.  Not many around any more.
