It was a great, friendly neighborhood hardware store, however, if they did not have what I was looking for I would drive out to Parkrose Hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent a couple of days in Sandy Oregon in September of 2022 helping a friend get a truck ready for a trip to Alaska. After going to several home improvement big box stores and not finding what we needed I commented that I used to go to a store called Parkrose Hardware, let&#8217;s see if it is still there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we looked it up on the map app and it showed up. We drove to Sandy Boulevard and sure enough it was still there. It turned out to be a great place for getting the bolts, lock nuts, steel bits and other hardware that we needed for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the items we bought for my friends project I decided to buy a couple of buckets for myself just for old time memories sake. I told the story of having frequented the store decades ago and being happy to see that they were still open to the cashier. She appreciated hearing the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t think that they are necessarily the cheapest store but if you are in the Portland eastside area and are looking for a hardware store with a great selection and friendly, helpful staff I highly recommend you check out Parkrose Hardware on Sandy and 106th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"244\" class=\"wp-image-324\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"http:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103827_compress85crop.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103827_compress85crop.jpg 737w, https:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103827_compress85crop-185x300.jpg 185w, https:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103827_compress85crop-630x1024.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/> <\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"136\" class=\"wp-image-325\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"http:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103912_compress70crop-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103912_compress70crop-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103912_compress70crop-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103912_compress70crop-1024x930.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103912_compress70crop-768x697.jpg 768w, https:\/\/michaeldahle.com\/w3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20220924_103912_compress70crop-1536x1395.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parkrose Hardware When I lived in Portland decades ago there was a hardware store, Beaumont Hardware, a few blocks from my home that I would frequent.
