Can you walk to Lowes?

I walk down 11th all the time to Lowes. We bought a bunch of plants there and used our little cart to take them back - no problem!

Anybody can walk there, it's just a bit of a schlep!!

little bit of a walk never hurt anyone

Stick your thumb out, we'll pick you up on our way Sat.

Yes, it is possible to walk to Lowes. You can also walk to the Atlantic Mall. NYers walk everywhere.

Stop, stop stop!! I am beginning to feel that we are poking fun with some cruelty.

This is a legit question with consideration that the OP posted 5 times, prob is not Brooklynite and was asking a sincere question..Lighten up!!!!!

Now I have to admit the first time I walked to Lowes I had some questions myself. I questioned why I was feeling like an idiot? The real question was how did Lowes land up in PS to begin with? Geez... what the hell do we need these box stores I was saying to myself as I slid easily down the hill (think Slope)... and sludged up the hill with all those flowers thatI bought for cheaper than anywhere else I would have needed to drive to!!

Play nice,,,,, all ya sweet fellow posters.

It's even easier from the smith/9th st stop which is pretty much right on top of lowes.

Your problem will not be the walk to Lowe's. Your problem will be the maddenin' crowds INSIDE Lowe's.

We should do a poll on "What Store is Worse... Home Depot or Lowes.

Personally I avoid Home Depot at all cost and have had ok experiences in Lowes.

Im really surprised caahyoko that you had a bad experience there. I find the people who work there to be really nice and they actually know where things are in the store. Maybe because the gardening section is mostly seasonal they don't stock up as quickly as they do the other departments.

I'm hoping its just the current crop of employees--particularly the door people and cashiers. One time I had a spiky burberry bush in a gallon container which, duh, needs the bigger of their two bags to carry it home. I happened to be the last person my cashier was helping before their bathroom break, so when he realized he (and all of the cashiers next to him) was out of the big bags, he just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. I had to find a manager to go get me a freakin plastic bag so I could walk home without stabbing myself with the plant. It took an extra 20 minutes to get out of there.

There are other incidents less flagrantly rude, but consistent enough to turn me off to the store for now.

Their stock that I can never get is the houseplant accessories, which they should have year round. It took them 5 weeks to get in orchid bark, etc.

I'll try them again in the spring. I'm sure those positions have high turn-over.

they always lack things . even when their computers say its in stock. they said its not there. they might be on top of their shelves. they have the worst employee's ever. i wonder who the hell screens them.

very lazy group. only found a few of them willing to help.

Hate Home Depot. their selection is for shit, they have that creepy, dark parking lot and the last time I was there, the store was empty and their prices higher.

Give me Lowe's anytime! It's funny that people are complaining about the employees at Lowe's cause hubby and i always talk about how great they are and whenever you ask one a question, they actually know the answer. I also got a great deal on a Christmas tree there recently.

I've done the walk along 10th or 11th Streets to Lowe's and it's a little quiet. I'd do it by myself during the day but would want my husband with me once it gets dark, just because it's so deserted - there's little or no pedestrian OR car traffic.
