Independent Neighborhood News & Talking Points

Willow Glen seems to be lacking a small neighborhood hardware store, which some might find to be a little more convenient than the Home Depots and OSH’s that have us surrounded (with another coming soon).
Get ready for ACE Hardware … coming soon to the corner of Lincoln & Curtner.
With prominent “LEASED” signs decorating the old Silverleaf Antiques outlet, the corner might be ready for a little renaissance, although there is no news on the deserted gas station. (permits, anyone?)

That’s two new hardware options for Willow Glen residents within 2 miles of each other, and essentially on the same street, too. While Ace’s opening was more relaxed — and perhaps a bit ahead of schedule — the Home Depot hits town with a splashy two-page ad in today’s local section of the Mercury News, complete with special pricing good at this store only.
