All the bolts, nuts, washers, screws, nails, frame connectors, joist hangers, paint, and construction adhesive that will go into putting my rock wall together, plus some random tools: pipe cutter, some pipe clamps to cap the pipe ends, a few circular saw blades and drill bits. The only thing not pictured here is the sand I'll mix with the paint, only because I didn't want a leaky bag of playground sand inside the house.
On a whim, we decided to drive into the center of Florida and ended up in Zephyrhills. (yes, one word) The town appeared empty until we got to the center, where they had closed off the main road for a Christmas parade.

I'm reorganizing my pictures into collections, and retook some more pictures so they all consist of a gray back ground. Nothing new.

Our spare room has been filled with half-dead computers and boxes of parts and cables for a little while since we had a few hardware failures in a row that I had to work around. I finally set about cleaning it up and realized that I've been hoarding computer parts and cables for the good part of a decade.
So I've spread it all out, in part to decide what very small percentage to keep, and in part to post here to embarrass myself into doing something about it.
A muralist once told Sweet Juniper that Detroit hardware stores paint their wares on the sides of the buildings to advertise products to those who are illiterate. In 1998, the National Institute for Literacy estimated that 47% of Detroit adults were functionally illiterate.
I can't believe I never posted any pictures of this place. I went there today and there was an orange sign on the door reading: "Closed by the City of Chicago". The store was closed December of 2014.
No reason was given for the closure. It happened about a week - 10 days ago.
The guys at True Value Hardware across the street didn't know what happened.

Mount Greenwood Hardware For Sale
By Howard Ludwig | April 2, 2015 6:33am
MOUNT GREENWOOD — Mount Greenwood Hardware is for sale.
The neighborhood hardware store at 3124 W. 111th St. in Mount Greenwood is listed with O'Shaughnessy Realtors Inc. for $265,000.
Only the 3,200-square-foot building and not the merchandise inside nor the business itself are part of the deal, said Lawrence O'Shaughnessy, the listing agent.
O'Shaughnessy said a buyer could likely negotiate for both as well as for the separate parcel behind the building that's used as a parking lot.
Mount Greenwood Hardware closed abruptly on Dec. 15. Third-generation owner Barry Zimmerman said his business license was revoked because of delinquent sales taxes owed to the state.
In an interview with DNAinfo on Jan. 15, Zimmerman said he opted to pay his employees rather than his sales taxes as business declined during the latest recession. He was hoping to make up for the lapse when sales improved, but he never got the chance.
Mount Greenwood Hardware was founded in 1929 by Barry's grandfather, Sam Zimmerman. The store was handed down to his two sons — Barry's father and uncle. Barry's father, Phil Zimmerman, died on July 15.
Attempts to reach Barry Zimmerman on Wednesday were unsuccessful.
In a previous interview, Zimmerman said his independent hardware store suffered from competition with big box stores such as Home Depot and Menards. Indeed, Menards opened a store 3½ miles away at 9100 S. Western Ave. in neighboring Evergreen Park, exactly one year ago.
Mount Greenwood Hardware still commonly served as a fall-back for such customers, as the big boxes would send shoppers with special requests or unusual problems to Zimmerman's tiny shop in Mount Greenwood.
More often than not, the staff at Mount Greenwood Hardware could help or offer an alternative solution. Knowledgeable staffers would also walk do-it-yourselfers through the process.
Darlene Myers, executive director of the Mount Greenwood Chamber of Commerce, said she had received several calls from individuals interested in buying the building and continuing to operate it as a hardware store.
"We are all working together on this," Myers said.
O'Shaughnessy said he hadn't heard anything since listing the property on Saturday. He believes interest will pick up as "for sale" signs are hung in the window in the coming days.
If not a hardware store, the Realtor theorized the corner building would also make a good home to a restaurant, coffee house or ice cream shop.
"It would be a neat location because of those old, oak floors," O'Shaughnessy said.
Arguably the most intricate and beautiful of the collection, this piece had an immaculate layout.
This is a large collection of analog tubes.
This tiny Ace Hardware store opened in the late 1990s in a building that was originally a Ben Franklin, then a V&S. I think the only time I ever went in the V&S was when it was going out of business ca. 1997. Strangely, they moved the entrance from the front to side (note the angled "front" that's now on the left) and inexplicably knocked down a tiny portion of the building; it used to abut the "Up North Store" sign. US-23, Standish.

The workers had just spent a month stocking the hardware store. I had to wait for big delivery trucks which were parkied out front to be unloaded. None of the other stores were even close to being ready, most were just unpainted drywall and poured concrete floors. Many of the seven stores had piles of construction debris in them so I did not want any lights on. I'm sure if I went back all, or most, of those stores would now be occupied but it is a one hour drive each way to the location. If at some point I'm in the area, I will take a look.
The nice thing about the shopping center being so new is there are no signs above each of the other businesses making for very clean lines of the building.
I hand-blended two photographs taken 20 minutes apart. One before sunset, one after. I had to wait until after sunset for the photcell sensor to turn on the parking lot lights and store signs. I was most fortunate to catch the last bit of sunlight hitting the building but not the sky in the background.

Lowel DP 1,000 Watt lights - one at far left illuminating a small hill and scrub growth. The other light is behind the back right corner to illuminate the evergreen trees. It's hard on a computer screen to see the detail of the little hill but on the enlargements hanging in the builder's board room one can see the detail. Since I knew the client would likely be ordering prints I made sure to take the time to light those details.

Photoshop CS3 to blend the daylight and twilight images together. Then darken the roadway with it's distracting painted stripes in the foreground to the point where it almost disappears in darkeness which, I feel, makes this brand new shopping center stand out sharply.
This is about the extent of the hardware I used for my strip light.
The handle cost about $4, the little nuts and bolts to mount the handle were about $1.50.
I chose to use a bolt that fit inside the large end of a typical brass lighting spigot. That nut, bolt and 2 washer cost about $1. The spigot came with a light stand.
The 2" long 1/4 20 bolt for the cold shoe, along with the washers, wingnut and nylon locking nut cost about $1. The cold shoe I used is different from this one and came on an umbrella adapter.
The 1/8" x 1" aluminum bar stock cost $7 for 3 feet. I used about 4" of this as a strengthening washer for the bolt on the inside of the strip.
Tools used:
-ruler, pencil, tape measure for marking out where to cut
-drill for holes
-jig saw to cut strip (or a box cutter knife)
-ball peen hammer to make reflector (optional)
At first glance, the appeal of Meyers Ace Hardware on 35th Street in Bronzeville is that it has the personality and charm of a true, old school neighborhood hardware store. But if you step inside, you learn that its rich history makes it so much more...it once hosted performances by such legends as Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, and Louie Armstrong. The venue opened in the 1920s as the Sunset Cafe. It was a "black and tan" nightclub, one of the city's few integrated clubs where a black person would be treated as a white person's equal. It later continued on as Grand Terrace nightclub, and thrived for more years before eventually closing. In 1960 the father of the current owner, Dave Meyers, moved his hardware store into the space and uncovered evidence of its incredible jazz legacy. Some of that evidence still remains; most notably, the store's back office retains the hand-painted murals that originally adorned the wall behind the stage. Manager Dave Meyers is very proud of his store's fabulous past, and some very cool old photos and promo pieces are prominently on display.
