Default Re: Manny, Moe & Jack

I didn't mean to give the impression that it was a great auto supply, only to show that the corporate buyout of yet another privately owned retailer is bad news for all of us. When was the last time you saw a real hardware store that didn't have the identical stuff that all the rest had? Ace Hardware isn't all that bad, but I do miss the good old cracker barrel hardware stores. I'd gladly drive 50 miles to find a genuine hardware store, but I'd pass 35 Ace Hardwares before I got there.
