Thanks to someone who submitted my blog entry to DC Blogs while I was
away! I've submitted my blog LIT's Living On Capitol Hill-Hell to DC
Blogs be added to their website. Keep your fingers crossed. This is
the second time someone noticed an item of interest. The last blog was
about mini coopers. I think the latest one about returning to the
Midwest may have knocked James Drury off the highest hit entry. Thanks
to all the readers out there. Being mentioned generates a lot of
traffic.
Observations, pictures, and sketches highlight the transition of moving to the nations's Capitol after 30 years of living in the Midwest. A clash in cultures? Maybe not!

Frager's Hardware
Whenever we need to get something to fix another something that is broken, or needs replacement, we usually drive, or walk, to the neighborhood hardware store. It's been locally owned and operated since the 1920's. And it looks like it probably did in the 1920's. The slogan here is "if we don't have it, you don't need it." And we have tested that with a few requests, like the 1/4 inch tempered glass special order for the table top. It may be hard to find things in the store, but the customer service is superb, and they tend to walk you to the place that you need to be. We hope it remains viable - it is always full of people. But there was a petition of sorts floating around to protest a big box place may be coming to town, and we know how that works. There is something charming about this place. It makes Capitol Hill feel like a small town neighborhood. Let's hope it stays around another 90+ years.
