They are indeed still in business. Best hardware store in town. We're
pretty lucky here in Pasadena, we've got Berg, a good True Value, 2 OSH,
couple of decent lumberyards, a relatively new Rockler store, a brand new
independent woodworking store called "American Woodworking", "John King"
power tools, and "Arroyo Hardwoods" for good but expensive hardwoods.

There's a rumour floating around that the Borg might be opening in Northwest
Pasadena, haven't seen much in the way of development yet though.

Amazing. I've tried to stump 'em with some pretty esoteric stuff. Can't
decided what's more impressive: (a) that they stock it (b) that their
help
knows where it is.

Let me know if you want me to take a camcorder up there for you.
Be happy to drop it in the mail!

And c) that they know WTF you're talking about. My dad worked in Berg
Hardware in Pasadena, CA for many years. Amazing. You ask for six 5/8
phillips head brass flat head screws and the rolling ladder moves a bit,
he climbs up several steps, reaches out, pulls out a small box, and
counts out your six screws. They are still in business AFAIK.
