I love this hardware store. They are generally very helpful. They really go out of their way to provide information and will also order items for you.

I found the store easy to navigate, but more importantly, I quickly was approached by Roger who was eager to help.
I happened to also compare some prices on drop sheets from Home Depot, and the box store was more expensive. This is a great family owned hardware store in the tradition of what a Hardware store should be. The only thing missing is that Hardware store smell, but I'm sure it will arrive soon.

Straddling the Pearl and NW districts, this is the most sizable hardware store in the area, which isn't saying much when compared to the megastores of the day, but it's still more than good enough for a small neighborhood. They carry about everything you'd expect in a hardware store (if not a store like Home Depot), and their prices are not that low but the store does save you from driving out of the area.
