Candey Hardware is going out of business.
They’ve been open since 1891.
This is disorienting. Candey Hardware has been part of my professional universe for 14 years. In fact, now that I look at the map, they are literally the center of my professional landscape.
What’s a girl to do when she needs potting soil, or some keys, or some WD-40, or a knife for birthday cake, or a decent staple gun (not like the one Staples sold me once, for which they did not carry refill staples, but I digress)?
I guess I’ll be going to the True Value at 20th & P from now on, which is inconvenient. Just barely too far for a there-and-back-at-lunchtime trip.
(You kids today and your non-walking-distance hardware superstores. Get off my lawn.)
