Check out all of the departments–house wares, electrical, plumbing, basic hardware, lawn and garden, toys for the kids, dogs, power and hand tools, cool drinks, candy and snacks. They can even help you with special orders for large jobs like fences, docks, etc. At South Fork Hardware you can re-key entry locks, make copies of house and car keys, (including the chip kind) sharpen knives and custom mix paint. Part of the popularity of American hardware stores is the range of services they provide. Hardware stores focus on selling hard goods or durable goods, which do not quickly wear out. I was eager to learn about why this place is called a “hardware store.” Ray told us that back in the day there were mercantile stores, which sold primarily flour and food. Ray Yaw, the store director and his wife Terri greeted us, and shared some barkin’ good history. I talked the Missus into checking out the pet department (which the Mister and I know very well), because she did not have room in her carry bag for Pluto.
(Note to parking guy-no parking revenue here!). There additional spaces across the street in the city lot and in the parking lot on the side of the building. Spring is here and the ginormous icicles on the side of the building are gone! The Missus is overjoyed at the ease of parking right in front of the store. 3rd Ave., the vista of colored Adirondack chairs and wheelbarrow displays, coupled with the smell of potting soil and mulch, heighten my sense. Sol.Īs I gaze at the entry of South Fork Hardware, located at 201 N. I couldn’t wait for my morning stroll to re-unite myself with my peeps downtown. Where am I taking my humans today? The Missus just got back from a business trip to Disneyworld, and I have a new leash on life! Mom is home! Not to say that the Mister didn’t do a good job taking care of my kitty sister and me, but I missed my Mom. A Drake hangs out with Ray Yaw and his grandkids, Chase and Angela.
