I also like neighorhood hardware stores--they carry the parts you need to
fix old doorknobs, old faucets, --the old stuff in old houses. My favorite
one--and one with really good staff--is River-Lake True Value--they even
fix old storm windows and old window screens. At 36th and Lake --one store
from the corner.
