Old time hardware stores are a vanishing breed. As a kid, I remember visits to the old Forest Lake Hardware<\/i> at Forest Lake Shopping Center<\/a>, the old Hiller<\/i> downtown, and Hiller in Five Points<\/a>, and various stores at the beach and in Fernandina<\/a>. They were mysterious places with big revolving bins of loose nails and odd brackets, and men behind well worn wooden counters who knew how to do stuff.<\/p>\n

After Thanksgiving, there will be one less in Columbia, as Cedar Terrace Hardware<\/i> is packing it in. The State has the story<\/a>, and it's a case of the owner's well deserved retirement with nobody else willing to take the store on.<\/p>\n

To the best of my memory, I have never been to this store. It's quite tucked away in the back of the plaza, and a case of out-of-sight-out-of-mind, but there's always something<\/i> I need from a hardware store so perhaps I'll take a look before it's too late.<\/p>\n
