I grew up in Campo and this amazing hardware store was more than just a hardware store…read more I cannot remember the number of times we were saved by this store. Back in the 70's my Grandfather and Uncle ran a butcher/ smokehouse business in that same building right behind the store. The wonderful smell of a smokehouse while buying lumber was a real man's dream. This store was always a nice place to run into friends and if you needed guidance on a project, an employee had the advice needed. I wish this store many more years of success, while in a hardware store in Ramona it reminded me of this store.

The first thing I noticed was the wonderful order. It has lumber and ranch supplies like animal feed and supplies making it smell wonderful! I grew up around a farm so the smell made me think of my childhood. They had quite a large supply of hardware and household goods too. And rather unique items. It's a great store for the area with whatever you may need. And the surprising part was that the prices were good. Being so far out, they could raise the prices but don't. I would definitely go back the next time we go to that area.

AND, he said it was such a small purchase I could just have them for free. At other times, like when installing a solar system on my van, I've needed many different bits and pieces, different kinds of fasteners and washers, and it's awesome to be able to find just the amount you need (with a few backups) and not pay 50 times at a big box store for what you can get here in the bulk bins. They also fill propane tanks, very handy and helpful. The first time I ever went there, a few years ago, I just wandered the aisles for a long time. Someone asked me if I needed help and I answered "No thanks, I'm just seeing what all you have - and the answer is, EVERYTHING!" Seriously, recently I needed some hair dye and they even had that. There was one time I needed a manilla envelope - I'd looked for one while in San Diego, and all I could find was at Staples and you had to buy 20. Well, True Value has onesies for sale. Who'd have thought a small rural outfit would be much better value than a big chain store in the city!

I made a stop at this wonderful ceramic shop on my return from Mexican wine country Valle De…read moreGuadalupe as I drove back to Tijuana. As I drove off the exit, I passed multiple ceramic shops. But I came across this great find after reading some other helpful Yelp reviews. I was drawn to come here to replace my colorful ceramic dog from Mexico that was stolen off my porch in DC. My partner was so upset, that he called the police to say it was stolen (only to have the cops mishear him and think he said our ACTUAL dog was stolen). It wasn't until we started describing the color of it that they figured out it wasn't a real dog -- my partner saying "it was yellow with green polka dots and pink." I immediately asked for any ceramic dogs and to my surprise they had over 10 options and it was the exact kind of dog that was stolen. Ergh, ceramic dog! I paid $40 USD, which I'm not sure is a good price or not. I guess I could have bargained but I was just so happy to have my ceramic dog replaced. And this time, he's not going outside and will be my ceramic indoor pets. Take note, DC Mexican ceramic dog nappers!
