My nose knows
Not long ago, I had a basement window which needed to have its glass replaced, so we took it to Zettler Hardware on East Broad Street in Columbus. When we pulled into the parking lot, it looked like a typical 1970s building, so I assumed the inside would be like a miniature version of the 1970s big box hardware stores. Boy was I wrong!
