Give me a break!

I have been very discouraged with all the plastic that has come into my life with my move (as I have already lamented) but seriously I can not even find nails to hang pictures with that do not come in plastic...nails do not need plastic! Nails need to be in a large barrel where you can scope them out of, put them in a paper bag, and pay by the pound. I need to move to a small town or the 1800s I guess. An old fashion hardware store is no where to be found in Torrance, CA. Home Depot, Osh, Ace, and Lowe's you have all let me down! I finally had to give up. After all I needed to hang pictures at some point before I move again (hopefully to a place with a small town hardware store!). Does any one have pointers on how to find everyday hardware that does not come in plastic?
