When I walked in the door here, I was greeted and offered to help. The man gathered all my things for me. And he knew what I was talking about. But if you go here, expect to pay. I was shocked to find that I was paying almost a dollar a bolt. But in this case, it was worth it to not deal with the usual dumbass at other stores.

Anders Hardware is an absolute treasure of Downtown Northport, and I would highly advise any and…read moreeveryone to patronize our hometown hardware store over any of the big box chains. I've been coming to Anders since I was a little boy. Back in the day, you could only buy lumber from Anders or from Richardson's Lumber Company. My dad and I would often come to Anders to purchase lumber, to buy nuts and bolts and random odds and ends to fix our farm equipment, or to buy needed tools or other such knickknacks for our use on the farm. While Andrew no longer sells lumber, Anders literally has anything else you need. Whether it's seed for your garden, Bonnie plants if you're too lazy to grow your plants from seed, or any hardware necessities, Anders has you covered. In addition to hardware, Anders does have other little odds and ends. Little red wagons, little old-fashioned toys, and other such things can be found here. If you're having trouble finding something in the Tuscaloosa area, and it's something of the hardware-ish variety, I would recommend checking out Anders. Skip the big box, you'll be glad you did.

The kind of stuff people out here probably use since we are off the beaten path. I didn't see what I was looking fir Sinai asked the guy behind the counter. He came from behind the register and walked over to the aisle to see what they had Nice! Unfortunately, they didn't have what I needed. I would come back. Friendly and great customer service.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Coosa Valley Milling & Hardware store in Wilsonville. Most of you may not know…read morethis, but those really fabulous McEwen grits that all of your favorite downtown posh restaurants use??? The grits that you buy from the nice man at Pepper Place on Saturday mornings??? Well, they come from Coosa Valley Milling in Wilsonville - And that nice man is the owner, Frank McEwen! Take a little afternoon drive down 280 some day, take a right on 25 and follow it till you get to the mill and store. Inside, you'll most likely be greeted by none other than Frank McEwen, the owner (that nice man at Pepper Place)! Sometimes his boys are there too. OK, I'll admit it, I grew up in the city (San Francsico, St. Louis, Atlanta, NYC, back to Atlanta and then ... BHAM) - Birmingham is the smallest city I have lived in. Ever. To say the least, it took a lot for me to move to MT Laurel from my cozy loft on 2nd Avenue N. It was really quite far (fortunately, I have been able to cut off about 20m on my trips to Atlanta living down here tho!). So ... going to Coosa Valley for the first time was quite a TRIP. Literally. It was quite a ways down 280 and when I got there --- wow! Was I in for a treat. My pups needed some food - Coosa Valley Milling carries this great food that the owners of World Class Kennels (http://bit.ly/myYELPofWCK) recommended. So I thought, well, I need some grits, and I gotta go get some of this dog food, so off I went. Here's the FUN PART: They have chicks in there. Little baby chicks in a little case. So you can raise your own chickens for fresh eggs and stuff. Can you imagine it? The idea of chickens in your own back yard for the freshest eggs you've ever had is really sweet. I came "this close" to getting some of those little babies! And the man there took the bag of dog food to my car! Who would do that at the PetSmart? Nobody. And grits? Well! I had no idea that they were packaged in 2 lb bags. I thought they just came in those cutsie blue bags I got at the Farmer's Market (oh - and they're cheaper down at McEwen's place than at Whole Foods too)! And popcorn (it's a MILL, y'all - they're known for their grits - They mill corn!) the best popcorn you will ever taste! and jams and jelly (even that green kind - not really sure what that is, but they have that too - you're supposed to put it on a cracker with cream cheese or some odd thing!). And I got that special dog food too! :-) THIS IS A SLICE OF LIFE! Go. For no other reason than to say you went to a real live mill!
