Is it a hammer you are looking for? Choose between ball peen, claw, rubber or sledge. Something that cuts? Peruse the hatchet and axe and lopper and pocket knife selections. Nab a nut, buy a bolt, put your DIY hat on and become one with your inner HGTV star who's been fighting to get out. No Drago Hardware doesn't offer the variety of Home Depot, nor the volume pricing of Lowe's, but it kills the big boxes in customer service and charm. On my recent visit, I caught the owner wiring a light kit onto a ceiling fan for a customer...at no charge. How is that for service? When you shop at Drago Hardware you are supporting the dwindling small business community in Port Arthur and the Drago family which has operated this enterprise since 1931.

I needed a tool for my water meter so I could have functioning utilities. Mind you that I also had to be to work so I was moving expeditiously.This morning I went to Drago Hardware Co.1900 9th Ave. Port Arthur TX. As I go to checkout an employee at the register was casually talking with another civilian that wasnt making a purchase. I ask if I can be checked out. He looks at me with disgust. Raises his voice As if I was across the store to tell me how rude I am. Only to be followed by derogatory and racists remarks; such as "your people won't ever get ahead" and "you'll just end up in prison" all because I asked to be checked out. His actions can not be justified. I was bothered by my experience. I thought for certain that type of behavior wasn't tolerated at the store , but unfortunately that was just the tip of the iceberg. I call the location to speak with a manager to inform of the situation. I noticed she seemed uneased with attitude galore. I can only assume because of my distinguished African American accent. I asked how she was doing only to be insulted again. She replied with "fine up until this phone call" followed by a dial tone. I will be having a peaceful protest until this is brought to light .

H. Noelle was BY FAR the best experience I had when shopping for wedding dresses and I have shopped…read moreall over Houston, Victoria, and Atlanta. I LOVED how they only had one bride at a time, so it was super relaxed and you didn't feel awkward with other people you didn't know watching you try on dresses and offer unsolicited opinions. Taryn was my consultant at my first appointment there and was an ABSOLUTE DOLL! She was super friendly, had amazing customer service, and was a pleasure to work with. What initially caused me to shop at H. Noelle is that they carried a large selection of Sophia Tolli dresses, my favorite designer who I had difficulty finding a store that carried more than one or two samples. At the beginning of my appointment I was given clothes pins, asked my budget, and told to select a few dresses to try on. The dresses do not have price tags on them, but since my budget was at the lower end of where their dresses start at, Taryn said she would let me know before I tried on a dress if it was over my budget. The dress I ended up purchasing was one I was most hesitant about trying on since it was a lot more blingy than what I normally like, but Taryn said to think of the appointment as dressing up and it didn't hurt to try it on. I tried on that dress first and fell in love! The third dress I tried on I also really liked and Taryn was very patient with me and allowed me to try the first one back on to see which one I liked more and the moment I put the first dress on I knew it was the one. I loved how H. Noelle encourages the customer to take pictures from all angles so that the bride can get a good idea of what the dress will look like when photographed. I was unable to fully commit the first appointment and Taryn was very understand and did not try and push for a sale which I really appreciated. After sleeping on it I was 100% confident that the dress was mine and I called back to make another appointment to come In and order my dress. My second appointment was with Brooke as Taryn was off that day. I was very impressed with the amount of communication between the staff at H. Noelle because my appointment with Brooke was amazing and it was as if she had been there for my first appointment. I would recommend anyone visit H. Noelle if they are looking for their wedding dress simply because of their amazing customer service and their attention to detail.

Oddly, i filed the location of Silk Purse in the back of my mind with no real pull to stop in sometime. I think it was the name. Silk Purse=Fancy Girly. One bored Saturday, I was like, meh, may as well pop in just to see. What a pleasant surprise!! So organized and filled to the gills but not in an unshoppable way! The prices are very fair. I found the most unique vintage light kit on the porch. It's now hanging in my stairwell. The mother/daughter duo, which i have now met on separate occasions, were equally friendly and engaging. They have a good eye for rare finds....vintage, antique, and collectible. Really, something for everyone! Unless you are just impossible to please! 20-25 minutes from the heart of Beaumont (a guess on my part based on my whereabouts in Sour Lake). Let's do our share to support small local businesses!!
