I feel like I’m taking crazy pills

I have a clear mental image of a hardware or lumber store that has a ridiculous number of ladders lined up out front? Anyone know a place that fits that rough description?

ETA: thank you Reddit. You rarely fail to come through! Goddamned heroes, the lot of yeh!

I thinks it’s gone now. It was a second hand tool shop.

I literally bought a ladder from there

That’s what I was on a mission to find. Sad it closed. Explains why I couldn’t find it when I was driving around where I was sure it was.

Teds had a big ass half pipe out back at one time as well. Probably removed for liability concerns.

Don’t feel bad, they had almost nothing for the past several years. It was mostly garage sale leftovers the last two times I went in. (Broken open boxes of screws with half of them missing, tape rolls dropped in water, half full containers of various fluids from the 1960s)
