Anchor Hardware
Margaret Hodge has found her dream job. “I get to hang out with men all day long and then not have to clean or cook for them when I go home at night!” jokes the owner of Anchor Hardware, a small, jack-of-all trades store on M-22, just north of the Empire village. The interior feels homey and familiar. Was it the bright, cheery walls with rows of gloves and shiny tools, the colorful candy twists on the counter, or the faint scent of sawdust? Something reminded me of school projects and tree houses. Margaret’s grand tour of the place, through a twisting maze of shelves and rooms, yielded an impressive inventory of everything from gardening supplies to cooking pots, nails, screws and bolts.
