Dunbar Residents Rally to Support Local Merchant

Residents of Dunbar are trying to help out a longstanding local hardware store. A recent neighbourhood mailing list had the following plea:

"The little hardware store on Dunbar Street is in trouble."

Grant has put his entire stock on sale this month of February.
Everything is twenty percent off. He needs to sell his stock to
cover the rent.

Let's all shop there as much as we can in the next days and weeks.
The family owned business has been a very very special part of our
neighbourhood. Please spread the word that the store needs our
support right away."

This type of local initiative is likely an example of things to come as local communities use new media to support their neigbourhoods.

Here is the link to the shop if you feel like helping the owner out.

The problem is, no one mentioned which hardware store on Dunbar although I have a feeling it is the little one closest to 41st. Not the Home Hardware down by 16th. Is that the correct assumption?
