Dear Editor,

Local hardware stores needed,” Letters, April 27.

Ray Arnold has hit the nail on the head, if he could buy one in Steveston.

I have lived in Steveston since 1970, long before it was the Village — hate that term — and when there was a lumber yard, a hardware store and an auto supply shop.

Now if you need even a light bulb, off you go on a half-hour trek.

The guts have been ripped from Steveston.
