No need to drive 20+ minutes to the nearest mega hardware store. Just head down Hawthorne to Hankins True Value Hardware – a woman owned, family run business (including some Sunnyside Environmental School alumnis!). Best of all, you won’t be lost in a maize of isles with no help in sight. Owner Lois and her crew will walk around with you to pick out that handful of screws, specialty brackets, or whatever else you need. Save time and commuting dollars when you shop at Hankins True Value Hardware either at 1720 Hawthorne Blvd. or one block north of Freemont on MLK. To check out what they have in stock before you go: Hawthorne 503-236-2372, MLK 503-281-1218. [...]
