I left Boulder six years ago and there has been many places in the city that I've missed. Perhaps the place I've yearned for the most was McGuckin. I've since lived in Portland, Southern Oregon, Minnesota, and South Florida and have had trouble finding any independently owned hardware stores, let alone ones with the service and expertise that I found at McGukin. Going back after all these years was like spending a night with an ex that you're still in love with: Great while you're doing it, but often just leads to more pain later when you start to miss them all over again.
