   I'm so old, I remember when my dad (Mr. DIY himself) brought 9yo me with him to the local hardware store, which smelled wonderfully of wood & leather, staffed by a kind bearded older guy, who on sight inspired in me the same trust & admiration I had for Santa, standing behind a wooden counter and in front of a wall covered with small wooden drawers who knew exactly what size screws you needed & exactly which drawer they were in.

   I loved that place.

     I haven't been to a HD or Lowes in years. In SF, we have Discount Home Builders Supply & Hardware, a locally-owned place that's been in business for decades. The workers there monitor the isles and actively ask if you need/want help. All cities should be so lucky.
