I have a whole big series on that hardware store, so just wait. It was Meade's favorite thing about the whole trip (not counting the seeing of family members).; 8/1/17, 5:19 PM

I always loved the smell of an old hardware store when you walked in the door. Lowes andHomeDepot are sadly lacking in the smell department.

BTW, posting about fountain square, have you watched the Good Bones show on hgtv? F. Square is one of their haunts. Tim; 8/1/17, 5:27 PM

My father bought my first shotgun there when I was 9. They had everything.; 8/1/17, 5:35 PM

Ann Althouse said...: Radio is a sound salvation
Radio is cleaning up the nation
They say you better listen to the voice of reason
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason
So you had better do as you are told
You better listen to the radio; 8/1/17, 6:36 PM
