I still have galvanized wash tub I purchased from Lafayette Hardware's going out of business sale. I got there on the final day of the sale and there were only knick knacks left. Everyone wanted a piece of the history of this venerable institution for postertity. The tub had been stored in the attic for many years prior because it leaked.... and still does. - Lyall Scott Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:10:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/4243#comment-803 When I first moved to Lafayette, I worked as assistant to the president & CEO of Chart House, which was located in FNB Tower. I parked in the FNB parking tower, thus turned right off Vermilion beside the old Lafayette Hardware store. Each day I wished I had a camera and each day when leaving home in the morning a camera was the farthest thing from my mind. However, as I turned that corner each day, nailed to the side of the building which was covered with layers of paint that were peeling and flaking off, there was a sign that read, "Climatic Paints." It always brought a smile to my face and, unfortunately, I never captured that "Kodak moment". - Marsha Miller Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:05:04 +0100
