Home Hardware on Commercial Drive

I lived in East Vancouver roughly in the Commercial Drive area (officially the Grandview neighborhood) from 1993 to 2016. My first wife and I lived in two rentals and then bought a house there. My two children were born in that neighborhood and my son and his partner live there again. It is a great area, interesting and diverse but not unsafe. One of the fixtures of the neighborhood is the Home Hardware store just north of first avenue. They have everything (except lumber unfortunately) and the staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I went there recently for a bunch of supplies for our home and my studio.
