Dear Editor,
Is anyone else who lives in or near Steveston as tired as I am of having to drive all the way to Rona to get basic hardware goods?
At one time we had two hardware stores in Steveston — one attached to a lumber yard, and one that used to be in a building that has remained empty for several years.
A new hardware store doesn’t have to be as big as Rona or Home Depot — just a storefront that offers the nuts and bolts, small tools and home repair products that we have to spend time and gas money on to purchase on the other side of the island.
We don’t need yet another ice cream place, or another restaurant, or another “school” that never sees any students, or another coffee shop.
We just need a practical hardware.
