Drifiting a bit off topic but it should be noted that Sears closed =
because of greed-based mismanagement and nothing else. OSH was owned by =
Sears and died by their sword. OSH was my mecca and it was like watching =
a neighborhood of longstanding, beautiful, diverse, hand built homes =
being razed and replaced by a Soviet-era apartment block.=20

Ace in my hood is just ok, way fewer fasteners and always out of most of =
the things I want. An employee told me that's becasuse the district =
managers get bonuses based on how low they can keep inventory. No idea =
if that's true.

They also have an attack parrot who will nip you if you get too close, =
like, say, when walking around the store not expecting to violate a =
parrot's territory. Both the store manager, and the local neighbors, =
crucified me when I brought this up as a problem, especially for small =
kids, so I crawled back under my curmudgeopn rock when I await rescue =
from my people.=20

Amazon has been great for reviews and for weird stuff, so I'm torn =
between how I feel.=20

Then, the Orchard closed down, but was replaced by an Ace Hardware which =
seems better all around than the OSH (more fasteners!).  There appears =
to be a few Aces in this region that are owned by the same guy.
