McGuckin's still has a great selection and every piece of hardware and hardware hardware oddity you could hope for.

However, I remember when the place was filled with helpful and knowledgeable employees. Over the last ten years, that has changed. The staff is increasingly disinterested and unengaging--sometimes even gruff--and the checkouts are staffed by vacuous college kids. I still prefer it over all the other hardware stores in town; I just wish they could stem the apathy and make the store, which, at one time, felt almost magic--magic again.
