| - I don't much care one way or another about hardware stores - they're all the same, right?
Well, I was on a search to find a rain barrel, and other local home improvement stores suggested Blackhawk, so while I was out and about... I swung in.
This is not your average hardware store, in any way. With a fairly broad selection of everything from household decorations to an array of birdfeeders, it took me a few minutes to remember what I was even there for!
After a little confusion in getting assistance ("Rain barrels? They're up front." So I went to the front of the store... where one was on display, but no pricing or other marketing materials. After asking at the front desk and waiting a few minutes, we were asked by another person if we could be assisted - and off we went on our merry way!), we managed to look at an array of options, settle on the best for our needs, with suggestions for how to set it up without having to shell out for additional items. Wow! They tried to SAVE me money? What craziness is that in the 21st century?!
Once we were set up, they happily helped us get the barrel into the car, and I can't wait until I need to buy another, now.
