The Lore and Lure of Hardware Stores

Have you got a favorite hardware store? For an upcoming story, we’d like to hear about it.

Tell us why you like the place and what--or who--makes it so special, so helpful, so whatever. And also tell us how much time each week you spend aimlessly browsing there.

Please keep letters as descriptive, and as brief, as possible and send them to Dick Barnes, Real Estate Editor, Los Angeles Times, Times Mirror Square, Los Angeles, CA 90053; or fax them to (213) 237-4712; or e-mail them to Real.Estate@LATimes.com

Please include your phone number.
