What makes a neighborhood great? Is it the people? The parks? The amount of restaurants you have saved on Google Maps? 

It’s all of the above, but if you ask us, it’s also one thing in particular: the quality of the local hardware store.

You’re either thinking to yourself – what? Or 100%.  Either way, this Debt Heads mini episode is for you. 

As beloved neighborhood juggernaut Crest Hardware prepares to close its doors after 62 years, we set out to connect with our community and create a love letter to the local businesses that make our neighborhoods work.

Join us as we hear from passionate Crest customers, employees, and pigs, and heartwarming, problem-solving stories from Chris Mendez, who runs our local hardware store in Clinton Hill.

If you feel inspired by the prospect of a different way of living, we hope you’ll join the Debt Heads community and stay tuned for more explorations into our upside down economy.
