Stone Brothers & Byrd] is among the few downtown survivors from
Durham's earlier heyday. In business since 1914, the store displays a
clear sense of their own history -- including decades-old wooden seed
bins and an antique cash register. They focus on gardening, including
tools, plants, seeds, and even [[EarthSunMoon]] t-shirts, but they also
have a selection of home-made sauces and preserves.

[[User:Harena|Harena]] and I wanted to get a weed-whacker which would
take a blade, because I'd had good experiences with a FujiRobin model I
used for nearly a decade. We went to SB&B because Harena's dad used
to shop there back in the 1970s and SB&B carries FujiRobin. For the
more powerful models which could accomodate a blade, however, they had
a different brand (also Japanese). The main guy at the store (George?)
recommended the middle one of three (about $350; the high-end was over
$500) and I ended up spending over $400 for everything (about $350 for
the whacker, $15 for the blade adapter, and $20 for the blade, plus $5
for a 1.25 gallon container) which was more than planned but not really
unexpected for a good unit.
The service guy filled the tank for free and powered up the unit to
make sure it was working, and they threw in a bottle of the recommended
oil for that brand. He also gave us a quick walk-through of the
maintenance procedures. Both he and George (?) seemed knowledgeable,
and emphasized repeatedly that they were also the service center,
repairs done on-site.
After an afternoon of trimming, I can say that the whacker seems very
much what I expected, so all told I'd have to say I recommend SB&B
from this one experience.
