Went there today to buy a little pocket knife for my keychain. The one I used to carry broke so the…read moreblade wouldn't lock, it sort of flopped backwards, which is no good if you want to cut open a carton or something. The knife I had before the broken one ended up in the trash can at TF Greene Airport when I forgot to take it off my keychain to leave at home. When I went through security, the TSA Agent looked at me bemusedly and asked "What are you? Stupid?" So I went into ACE Hardware today to replace the knife. They didn't have exactly what I wanted but they did have a mini box cutter for $4, which will fit on my keychain and will come in perfectly for cutting the straps on new cartons of copy paper at work. Ace is in a big parking lot with a Geissler's, Dom's Restaurant, and a side entry to Subway. The store was neat, had a lot of stuff on the shelves, and the guy at the register was polite and nice and called me by name (I guess he read my ID badge). All in all, my stop there worked out great.

Being from Windsor it is great to have the ace hardware in town and I hope they never leave.

The only negative thing I have to say is I wish they would invest some money in this store and make it a little more appealing and fix the horrible flooring etc. but like I said love having this place in town!

Recently while shopping at the Holyoke Mall with my fiancé, we decided to stop in at this store to…read morelook for jewelry for our wedding party. This women's accessorie store has a ton of different options including some decent costume earrings. This store is smaller than a few of it competitors in the mall, but again it had a decent selection. The prices for some of their items was a bit much, but they were not to unreasonable. The one thing that did frustrate me about this store is that the employee didn't greet us or ask us if we needed any assistance even though we walked past her multiple times. In the end the selection was decent but the service was bland. We will stop here in the future though because it may have been an off day for the team here.

Because I have worked with Shades on Wheels so many times, I wanted to write a thoughtful review,…read moreso sorry if it's long! The best shades and blinds are found at Shades on Wheels which serves towns on the South Shore of Boston and in other areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Barbara Thomas and Shades on Wheels bring the showroom to you! She makes it so easy. Don't waste your time searching other options. Barbara is your gal for residential and commercial custom shades and blinds installations. There is simply no debate. When Barbara Thomas came to my houses and place of business for window covering consultations, she always made suggestions that only someone with her expertise can make. They were things I never would have thought of. Barbara showed me options from her sample books, laser measured to microscopic accuracy and ordered from the best window treatment vendors in the world. Each and every time I have used Shades on Wheels, the installations have been flawless. Not only were her professional installers lightning fast, but so neat and tidy I hardly knew they were there. All of my shades and blinds perform perfectly and I get tons of compliments. It has been completely stress-free and absolute pleasure working with Shades on Wheels and Barbara Thomas. Decades spent in the shades and blinds business has earned Shades on Wheels the elite status of being a Hunter Douglas Priority Dealer and the prestigious Hunter Douglas Certified Kirsch Diamond Award. It's no surprise. She participates in all the webinars and trainings offered by her premium vendors, has been the Best of Houzz every year since 2016, and received Angie's List Super Service Award. Barbara knows her product better than anyone else around and is not someone who just jumped into the custom blinds business. Shades On Wheels sells and installs custom window treatments like honeycomb blinds, motorized shades and blinds for skylights and windows, roman shades, woven wood blinds, wood blinds, interior wood shutters, plantation shutters, vertical blinds, mini blinds, roller shades, sunscreen shades, cellular shades, pleated shades, sun shades, blackout shades, horizontal blinds, modern and traditional draperies. Too many to name! As are the manufacturers she works with like Hunter Douglas, Graber, Horizons, Lafayette, Landmark, Levolor, Kirsch, Comfortex, Carole, Castec, Robert Allen, Norman, Worldwide and more. Everyone wants to work with Barbara. The last thing I'll say is about DIY shades and blinds. Maybe you're thinking of purchasing and installing shades or blinds yourself. Good luck with that. First of all, the measurements have to be precise, and by precise I don't mean to the quarter inch. Windows, skylights and doors don't fit into perfect, geometric openings to begin with, and structures shift which of course changes the corners causing the angles to skew. The word "custom" means done to order according to specific measurements and needs, therefore all shades and blinds are "custom." You buy and install "custom shades and blinds" because you are fitting them to your windows. Shades on Wheels goes so far beyond "custom" we need to invent a new word! So, go for it! You won't regret it.
