Our birdies were spot on about Urban Outfitters leasing the old Hardware Store space. We heard this rumor back in August of last year. We love the birdies 
WCAV confirms it after talking with a spokesperson. There are no more details at this time.

Hi I’m Thor and I gotta kangfirm boring shit.
F’in Urban Outfitters are the barbarians at the gate, people. The Hardware Store could have been another C’ville original for years more to come if it weren’t for big time corporate money! I hope you all enjoy your “emo” pseudo-vintage clothing and toys!
PS-
I’m not bitter =)
Hardware Store sucked. Only fat tourists went there. Now there will be an affordable clothing store on the mall.
@3, this is not boring. This is life changing. It means I will no longer have more than 5 dollars in my bank account at any given time.
A little birdie just confimed to me that pooping at work is still awkward.
Now there will be an affordable clothing store on the mall.
Guess you and I differ on the definition of affordable. Excepting, of course, the clearance rack. Though true, its cheaper than fixed gear indie hipster boutiques like industry.
/cant afford pants either.
the only thing urban outfitters is good for is books that teach high school students how to perform sex acts. (but it’s still better than the hardware store.)
and one time, after a hurricane, when we didn’t have electricity yet but the mall did, we spent like 3 hours there.
/hates pants.
//ew, that reminds me of the hippie i dated in college who didn’t shower & wore skirts. –>/hates pants on me; prefers pants on guys.
Oddly, I learned sex acts at the hardware store when I was in high school.
@10, was that on the menu? It was so huge I always missed the good stuff.
me = thrilled. The hardware store was cutely kitschy, but didn’t really do it for me otherwise. This is possibly fabulous.
@10 okay, b’yo, I don’t know how that happened, but bejesus, I don’t wanna know
Hdwre Store was good for extremely small businesses that needed tiny retail space, upstairs, around the entrance, or in the basement. Then the bookstore took over the whole basement. The gallery upstairs was one of the few that had accessible local art without too much attitude, buyable, lookable, etc. The food, no. But the bazaar aspect, that was good & healthy for the maaaall.
This is complete bullshit! BRING BACK A&N!
The hardware store had great chopped liver sandwiches.
*pukes on keyboard*
I know, trust me, I know. But it’s so good for you and they actually made it taste non-nausea inducing. That’s why its so sad. If they had to go corporate, I wish they were putting something useful in there, like a TJ Maxx. Or a supersized Wa-Wa.
Did you ever see the kitchen of that place?
Urban Outfitters coming will not be a good thing for Finch, same lines, I think.
No, but now that I think about it i heard rumblings along those lines. Like Red Lobster, it’ll always have a place in my heart as a fancy place I went on special occasions as a kid.
Now, anyone know where I can get some non-nauseating chopped liver?
