If this hardware store contains a portal to a happy alternate universe where unicorns romp, home repairs are performed with effortless competence, and anything big attracts a buff, shirtless handyperson of one's preferred gender and orientation... this would not surprise me. It is more packed with stuff than an old curiosity shoppe and even sells live chickens.
I didn't wander this time because I was doing a string of errands while carrying my huge tote bag that justifiably makes store clerks nervous (I could swipe a small tractor in this thing). Instead, I was greeted and helped by a young man who comprehended what I wanted, had an intelligent answer for my questions, and handled my cluelessness without treat in me as stupid (an art in itself).
It carries both widgets and sparkly home decor things, and it's between a Tuesday Morning and a huge 99 Cents Only, so there's every reason to make this a destination rather than staring blankly at the aisles of Home Depot.
