? Photo album 2001.06.28 v .. [ ( < + > ) ] Shopping for robot parts at the OUTSTANDING Andersonville Ace hardware store. 773/561-3323, 5820 N Clark, Not much from the outside, but among the best inventories I've ever seen! I LOVE hardware stores. They represent a peak example of civilization; great repositories of technology. Some as old as time, some revolutionary, all practical. My favorites are fine machined parts, beyond royalty centuries ago, now cheap and common. Basically, ANYTHING you need for home maintenance is here. I found items sought for years (tiny C clamps for one). This album doesn't do this place justice, missing major areas such as yard, electrical, wood, paints, etc. The place even has complimentary coffee and cookies!!! Kudos.
