Careful and attentive readers may remember this store making a cameo appearance in a home improvement saga related to the making of shelves from last year. I think I went in to that store the day I was looking for [...]  On the edge of the sink in our bathroom stands a bottle of liquid hand soap. “LIVE CLEAN,” announces the label.
