Magnet Hardware (Home Hardware) makes the list because I buy so much food-related stuff there (knives, BBQ, canning supplies, kitchenware, seedlings of herbs and vegetables, etc.). The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Some big changes of late due to the passing of one of the longtime staff.

This place to me is Commercial Drive in a nutshell.
