Alright guys, this is my last conventional blog post. I plan on blogging about First Fridays the first Friday of every month. To make you all happy, I'll make this post a good (sentimental) one. Without further ado:
Unlike a lot of the places I've blogged about, I've been to Mapes True Value many times. When I was younger, Mapes carried toys and costumes. My family always forgot to buy Halloween costumes and, year after year, we frantically went to Mapes, grabbing the last outfits (I was Ronald McDonald 3 times). Other times, I bought birthday presents for friends and was dragged out of the store crying because I couldn't get whatever my friend was about to receive. Earlier this summer Mapes went through a transformation. It became a cool hardware store with catchy music playing throughout the aisles. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. My dad went to Mapes a couple weeks ago to get supplies for painting our stools. Originally, he had no idea what he was doing. However, thanks to the employees, he came home with primer, brushes and paint. Today our stools actually look descent, much to my family's surprise. All jokes (and truthful anecdotes, sorry Dad) aside, Mapes is a great store. They carry many things, from gardening supplies to grills to power tools. Check out the full list of items at http://www.truevalue.com/ and stop by 71 Rittenhouse Place.
