Mitchell Hardware in Downtown New Bern

Mitchell Hardware in downtown New Bern.

Dan always manages to "need" something from Mitchell Hardware whenever we are in New Bern, but I know he just can't resist the urge to visit once again this authentic turn of the century (not the twenty-first century either) hardware store that's been in business since 1898.  I know, because I can't resist either.
Some things I saw on Wednesday.
