In the WaukeshaCounty real estate market Ihomes for sale in oconomowoc wisconsin,waukesha county lake homes,homes for sale in waukesha county,homes for sale in delafield wisconsin have been driving around the last couple days with everything from a bread wire to a paperclip holding my reading glasses together. Enter people that know me and are very kind "Why don't you just go over to Ace hardware on Summit Avenue in Oconomowoc Wisconsin and buy some new reading glasses, please, do this for us Tom."; Well, okay. The problem is hardware stores like the Ace hardware in Oconomowoc Wisconsin  have wonderful people working in them, and they have all this cool stuff. As I walk out with a pair of blue, red, and I think a silver pair of reading glasses, along with batteries, gum, CLR, and a whole bag of other associated things I realize how really much a part of my life these people are. They say ";Ace is the place."; Well, I will second that. When I am out looking at homes for sale in Oconomowoc Wisconsin or homes for sale in Delafield Wisconsin or any other homes for sale in Waukesha County I can now see the lock box, and I look that much more dapper now. Thank you Phil and Sharon; this is the hardware to shop at in Oconomowoc Wisconsin. They can be reached at 262-567-8288 and are located at 1081 Summit Ave. in Oconomowoc Wisconsin

Tom, I love our local Ace Hardware store here. It is so much more personal than the other big box stores! Nice Localism post!

Hi Tom-Great informative post. I used to work at a ACE hardware store years ago. You made me smile with the glasses though. I have several pair cause for some reason though I needed to replace them I have hung onto them. I never held them together with a paperclip or breadwire though. Have a great night. <SMILE>

Ace has all those great and stylist reading glasses for like 4 dollars a pair. Yeah, pretty tragic when I start using paper clips to keep the ear pieces on. Now I am set for awhile.

Hi Tom,

 

I love those favorite Ace Hardware stores here and there. I had one nearby but unfortunatly we lost it to the big boxers. IMHO, there is nothing like the local type.

Tom,

((-; thanks for the morning smiles. I can just picture you with a paper clip holding your glasses together....somehow that suits you, the absent-minded professor look.

I LOVE ACE!  Very good small town service!  I had a rekey in Mesquite (up north) for an REO and those folks took such good care of me.  Another time we were visiting our friends in San Diego and our dog broke the screen in the window.  They fixed it no problem!  Wish we had more here in the big city!
