that's a dam fine and important distinction you make, we're not talking about sanitised boutique home improvement franchises.... we're talking somewhere that leaves a good honest grease stain on your overalls

Robodon,
I think it's the true measure of a neighborhood if they have a decent hardware store (and I'm not talking foofy psuedo-hardware for people with too much money to blow on door handles).

RobDon,
Yes, this is very, very sad indeed. This post reminds me of something that happened several years ago to a very old, promenant Catholic church here in the town where I live.
Apparently, parishoners gave up the idea of renovating the church or even taking over the upkeep of the place, so it was turned into a public theatre house...I was extremely angry and sad....

Good morning Rob,
My coffee is sitting in front of the computer screen and it's staring at your blog with little tear droplets balancing on the rim of its styrofoam cup. It's crying silent, bitter tears and whispering, "tell Rob he can use my humble abode to make castles in the sand."
Regards, Melody
