Living in Riverside means constantly fixing up our homes. A Five Points hardware store would be very welcome addition to our neighborhood.

I shop at Curry Thomas and Lowes. Curry Thomas is like 8 minutes away from 5 points. Lowes is like 10-15 minutes depending which way you take

I feel like Curry Thomas in Murray Hill is not too far away from 5 pts. Not sure if a hardware store is necessary in riverside.

We're talking about a GOOD hardware store without surly service.

Glad to see it wasn't just me when I walked in that place.  I can drive another 3 - 5 minutes and be at Lowe's.  At least it is cheaper there. 

On the topic of hardware store.  I think where a small place does well is with personal service and one on one advice.  Ace Hardware stores often have nice nurseries with knowledgeable employees.  Same with the hardware section.  Where they loose is price and not lumber yards.  Would there be a spot big enough in 5 Points/Avondale for not only a good hardware store, but one that could benefit from a nice nursery selection?

An interior demolition permit has been filed for the old Fuel Building. It is not going to be a hardware store, but something else not revealed at this time since the lease is not signed.

I just read in the TU this morning that a permit for interior demolition has been issued for the old Fuel space. The leasing agent said a tenant has been lined up but could not name them because a lease has yet to be signed.

I heard something about a permit for an interior demolition in the old fuel building in five points but don't quote me on that.
