Our local hardware store closed down thanks to the big stores. Partly my fault too; anybody want to kick me in the a$$. :(

I was sad to see our local hardware store close near our first house in Lombard. I went there all the time. Then one day, poof. It was closed:(

Great story. Refreshing.

I try and split my purchases between the local Ace Hardware and Lowe's.
