Blackhawk Hardware is the local neighborhood hardware stores that has all the nuts, bolts, odd and ends, thingy you could ever look for.
This is not the chain store that your going to find lumber at but more of a place where your looking for an off side nut or bolt, a different type of faucet figure or something that those "other guys" don't have.
This is also the place to go if you have a Boy Scout/Cub Scout and you need help/knowledge to build a pine wood derby car. They have all the fix-ens that you would need for your car. The rest is up to your creativity.
Sales folks are friendly if you can't find something, ask, since you probably walked right by it.
And while your at it... meet a couple of your neighbors while your shopping.
Oh yea, The nice part. These folks are dog friendly.
