BOB NIEDTAt least when you’re moving a hardware store, there are plenty of tools – and a fine selection of those cool brass numbers to go on the new mailbox – to get the job done.Mission accomplished at Nightingale True Value, in Eastwood.The long-timer bounced over to the Sacred Melody plaza, 3525 James St., from 2313 James St., at the corner of Grant Boulevard.
Well, it’s actually the “Eastwood Plaza” but few of us think of it as such. We’re thrilled that True Value has stayed. Visit them, folks, and support your local economy. Keep Syracuse dollars in Syracuse!
You can bring your spent fluorescents to True Value Hardware (that’s compact, U-shaped, and/or 4-foot fluorescent bulbs). They’ll ship them for recycling. Keep hazardous waste out of the environment!
True Value in Eastwood is a very good place! Even though I have other options not too far away, such as the big hardware chains everyone knows, I nearly always try True Value first. They have employees who have been with the company for quite awhile, and they are knowledgeable, courteous, and very willing to help, and because I go there often, they know me, and even are patient with advice when they see that I’m “experimenting”. I think you’ll agree that in the big chain stores, there’s a much bigger chance of getting either no help at all because they’re busy and understaffed, or getting help that is, well, not really based on any experience. I hope you’ll give True Value a try!
