Ashmont Discount RIP

My father was a frequent customer at Ashmont Discount Home Improvement Stores in the 80s and 90s, but the store finally closed down around 2002-2004 because everyone else found
Lowe's and Home Depot to be much better.

Thus, the trucks and cranes duly rendered the store into rubble, and a mini-Staples will rise in its place. I like Staples - I consider it a toy store for geeks and admins - and it'll be easier just to take the Route 50 bus to get my allotment of rubber erasers and funky calculators, but I can bet you that my Dad is looking for a few drill bits and masking tape at the Ashmont Discount in the beyond.

I saw the photos. They were sad. I always hate to see neighborhood stores go.

Yes...my father was a huge fan of the paints there, especially the tables we used to paint during the summer.

Home Depot and Lowe's are OK, but nothing beat Ashmont Discount for low prices.
