Hippo Hardware in Portland Faces Potential Closure Amid Safety and Financial Concerns

Hippo Hardware, a beloved Portland establishment, known for its quirky and unique items since 1976, may soon be shutting its doors, and not for a lack of nuts and bolts, mind you. No, the owner blames the rising security challenges in an environment where "going to work is a crapshoot" thanks to unruly elements that seem to be given more protection than law-abiding citizens and businesses. And before you say, "Well, why not just buy online?", remember that places like Hippo Hardware are where you find that specific part that big box stores don't bother with—talk about a cornerstone for small businesses and contractors. But alas, in an era where people would rather order from Amazon than risk their car being broken into, what's the future for businesses like these? Thanks to the lethal cocktail of high taxes, bad policy, and declining foot traffic, we might just be witnessing the slow demise of what once made Portland interesting and functional. So if Hippo Hardware goes, let's pour one out for the good old days when common sense had some square footage in Portland.
