Heres a picture of my former Ames in Lansdale PA.. Its now a Big Lots that opened in 2004. The Ames opened in the early 70's. It was red inside. It had the old Ames logo too. I miss that old store. It even had a Roy Rogers out in the parking lot. (Not pictured.)

Funny thing - when you go to the store's website (http://www.hackettsonline.com/locations.html) it shows only 3 locations - Ogdensburg, Massena and Canton - and not the one in Potsdam) - wonder what happened?
