At the corner of Centre Street and Starr Lane this neighborhood hardware store offers all the items you need to repair or spruce up your home. There are knowledgeable staff who are willing to help you choose the perfect tool or maybe just cut a key or mix some paint up for you. The inside of this store reminds me of the "Home Improvement" show - where all the neighborhood guys got around and talked at the hardware store. There seem to be some "regulars" in this place too. Ace Hardware City is a seller of Pittsburgh Paints.

Centre Street Cafe serves fantastic, funky food. Brunch here is just the best thing about any weekend and the line every Saturday and Sunday proves it. They actually set up barriers on the sidewalk, to facilitate foot traffic going by outside. But the nice thing is, you just go in and help yourself to a mug of coffee from the self-service station, then get back in line. So your long wait is caffeinated at least. And the food is worth the sidewalk time. The open kitchen pumps out food with a slightly Mexican twist (the owner used to have Mi Casita where Ten Tables is now). There's a broad range of entrees, including stuff for JP's numerous vegetarians and vegans. They've been using local and organic products forever - not just in the recent trendy times.

Relocated here after the fire in August 2006.

While there are a few spartan tables in the restaurant Charlie Chan's is mainly a take-out establishment.

Slotted to open Monday, Aug. 11 2008. City Feed and Supply, the popular local convenience store and café, is taking over the former Videosmith storefront on Centre Street as a second location. This will be a much larger second site for the company (with their first location on Boylston Street). This Centre Street location (in the 3,000-square foot space on the corner of Seaverns Ave.) includes tables for enjoying a sandwich and plenty of windows for people watching. City Feed targets the "Ped Set" or the pedestrian traffic strolling up and down Centre Street. Their business is focused on locally grwon and organic and fair trade foods with an emphasis on vegetarian items like tofurkey. They are, admittedly, not a place to shop for everything, though they are a food store in addition to being a cafe.

This store offers all sorts of items - not all for a single dollar, but some are. The big businesses seems to be lottery tickets though.
