The Last Hardware Store In America
Inquiring minds want to know where in the JerryBrownville area such a
place exists (let alone places)! Next time I go get my Golden Bear fix
and my Zachary's fix, might as well try to do something about my
hardware jones, too...

Great story, Tom. Thank you for the tribute to your friends.
In the Oakland, California, area, a fine family runs several hardware
establishments such as Moser's. Has for several generations. They are
truly a treasure, both the stores and the people. It's not always easy.
Parts of our area are far from gentrified.
But you are always greeted, served and educated when you arrive. And I am
pleasantly surprised at the treasures Peter digs out of the racks, whenever
I go in with a problem.
I don't know about one of those 1900-vintage Disstons, though. Maybe I'll
ask, next time I'm in.
