Downer Hardware

It's nothing specific that gets Downer Hardware on The N**E List, but rather everything they do. It's a tiny little place, but they always seem to have whatever I'm looking for. And even though it's very much a cramped, old-school hardware store, I can guaranty you won't spend much time looking for anything. Normally, I'm the first one to complain about over-zealous sales associates who won't leave you alone when you're just browsing. But rarely does anyone enter a hardware store without looking for something specific. When the person who invariably greets you as you walk through the door asks if they can help you find anything, tell them! They'll take you to the item you're looking for right away. And if they don't have it, they'll either help you find an alternative, order it or even tell you at what other store it can be found.

If you live on the East Side, check out Downer Hardware, and tell them The N**E List sent you!
