Frager's Hardware

Our handyman just completed a bunch of work in our apartment including repainting the entire interior. He did a lot of odds and ends, but forgot one item. Rather than tack down the cable cord along the baseboard, we used to have a "cord hider" that made all the wires appear less unsightly. So we decided to take a walk down to the new Frager's Hardware store on E Street and about 14th to find a replacement. We have not been to the "new" hardware store since the huge fire gutted the neighborhood favorite last year. We walked past it, crossed the street at the CVS (which has an interesting wall mural on the side), and continued down E Street. There are now actually three Frager's sites. Besides the hardware store is the outdoor and plant slab at Eastern Market, and the paint shop just down the street from the old place. The hardware store is in an old warehouse of sorts in a residential neighborhood. There was a lot of foot and car traffic, and inside looked a lot like the old place, except it is only one story. We found exactly what we were looking for in the first aisle we walked down. The old saying was "if we don't have it, you don't need it." So far so good.
