Continuing our theme from episode 37 of local businesses that have staying power, we bring you episode 38. If you're a regular customer at Bloomington Hardware, you already know that aside from their unparalleled customer service, they also offer lamp repairs, glass cutting, paint matching, knife sharpening and a variety of in-store products as well as easy online shopping with free store pick up that ensures your money stays in our community. But did you know that Bloomington Hardware has served our community for over 90 years? A lot has changed since those early days on the south side of the downtown square, but commitment to their community isn't one of them. Join us as we learn about the beginning of Bloomington Hardware with owner, Vickie Temple Davison. Vickie shared her story and some great tips on natural weed control and the tools everyone should have in their toolbox!

We also throw back to one of our past shows, Bloomington Canine Services. Emily Herr, owner, has come to the rescue (literally) of many pets. Trainer, consultant and phenomenal Bloomington pet resource. And in our REAL-List segment, Deb tells us the top three real estate websites where buyers and sellers can get REAL information (hint: It's NOT Zillow!).
