If anyone wants to see a real hardware store before they're all gone,... mno better example than Detroit Hardware, on the S.WE. corner of Woodward And Milwaukee.

They're closing up mid June.

They've been there since 1924. Plank wood floors. A mechanical machine for writing 2-part receipts.

I have a business that's had an account there for at least the last 60 years. Perhaps 90 or better. Gonna miss the place.

The people working there were simply in the mood to retire, or at least take a vacation,.. and some individual [[not Gilbert) came and offered to buy the whole building.
