Wow, I'm a bit surprised by these reviews. This Lowes is noticeably slower than the nearby Home Depot (a block to the East), but it's kind of a nice change. At HD, there's always a few employees asking if you need help finding an item, which can be a bit overbearing. So I enjoy the less-frantic pace and fewer crowds here. The prices seem a little higher though. They also carry basic pool supplies, which is nice.
