Hardware Stores for Old Bungalow Owners

Before owning an old bungalow, I rarely set foot into a hardware store.  I used to work at one years ago, but since buying our house I had no reason to go again.  

We prefer the cozy Ace Hardware on Grand Avenue (#1221) in Oakland.  The only downside is the cramped parking lot.  This is where we bought our awesome BBQ.    

There's also a good (but somewhat claustrophobic) hardware store on Telegraph between Alcatraz and Woolsey (Telegraph Hardware, 6640 Telegraph Ave.).  Just bought some lightbulbs there yesterday.  

And, when we must, we'll head over to the Home Depot in Emeryville.  Oddly enough, for a period of at least a few years after we bought our house, Home Depot was the only place we could find old fuses for our old fuse box.
