I hate to report this, but Dave and Gisela Haskin are closing Broadway Hardware next month and calling it quits. I talked with the Haskins a couple months ago and at that time, they had said nothing about closing down the store. I'm so sorry to see them leave Land Park. I shop at Broadway Hardware at least a couple times a month, but I guess my small purchases haven't made a dent in the business. It seems most people go to the big box stores, which is a crying shame.
Broadway Hardware has been here for 18 years. It's a landmark in Land Park. Where will we go to get keys, screws, paint, those emergency plumbing supplies? There's Hollywood Park Hardware on Freeport Blvd., just south of Ralph's, Capitol Ace on 18th and I, and East Sacramento Hardware at 48th and Folsom, but none of those stores hold a candle to Broadware Hardware. It's a sad day in Land Park. :(
