Description
John Stallworth has been selling hardware and fixing bikes at his shop on Chicago's South Side for 50 years, helping to anchor a neighborhood that's struggled with population loss and divestment. John's Hardware and Bicycle Shop is the kind of old-fashioned business that's happy to sell customers two nails instead of a whole box. The store's motto is "If we don't have it, you don't need it."
