It’s a feature of modern consumerism it seems, to make it less about community, and more about buying.
I don’t think I’ll find a replacement for the Northern Hardware in my heart, but Windsor Plywood comes close.
When I run errands, I want to relax a bit. I’m on my feet all day behind a table saw. I want to joke around. I want to hear stories about some deck-builds, even if I heard them already. That’s not what happens at the big box stores. There’s a rationale to it: trap us in a lonesome warehouse where the emptiness and absence of human connection and endless aisles of products triggers some kind of survivalist, materialistic panic. You start buying stuff you don’t need.
The Superstore is another example. Another trek. It’s like you walk three city blocks to get a block of cheese and some bread, if you can find it. Sure, you save a bunch of money, but what about your time?
