A good sign

Many Downey residents were deeply disappointed when All American Home Center went out of business last year. (See The end of an era.)

Some of the All American executives are opening this new store with a new name (Hometown Hardware and Garden), a new location (in the old Von's grocery store that has been vacant for a couple of years), and hopefully with the great service we all knew and loved.

So far, there's just a sign. But I think it's a good sign.
