Where Lowe goes one step ahead of Lucas, then, is in suggesting that these parameters should themselves be considered as policy instruments - which not too radical a proposition by modern standards when one considers, say, the "reputation" debate on monetary policy and inflation and indeed, the Public Choice school.

I have been a big fan of the Lowe's Home Improvement store ever since I was first introduced to one 2 years ago when I moved to Florida.
Before Lowe's, I was happily addicted to Home Depot, but I then found Lowe's to be more friendly and helpful towards their customers.
I did not want to waste the trip 1 mile up the road to Lowe's looking for closet organizers, because I know I would have came home with more projects and more stuff that was not relevant to my closet organizer that I originally went out looking for.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Business (The Lowe's Down)
Lowe's was started in 1946 as a single store in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, by two brothers-in-law, James Lowe and Carl Buchan.
Within a few years Buchan bought out Lowe but kept the Lowe's name, possibly because he liked the sound of "Lowe's Low Prices." Buchan died in 1961, the same year the company went public.
Yet Lowe's and Home Depot seem to want to go head-to-head in battling for the home improvement dollar, with both companies appearing to seek out locations as near as possible to the other's stores.

 Boston.com / Sports / Baseball / Red Sox / Sox start slowly
If there was a benefit, as Red Sox manager Terry Francona maintained, to having Derek Lowe be the first Sox pitcher out of the chute to start the season's second half, it was apparent only to the Anaheim Angels.
The line drives came early and often for the Angels, who made Lowe's pitches bob when they were supposed to sink, knocking him out in the fifth inning.
They were no less sparing of reliever Alan Embree, who went single, RBI double, two-run single to the first three batters he faced after replacing Lowe in a five-run fifth inning that propelled the Angels to an 8-1 win last night before a sellout crowd of 43,623 in Angel Stadium.

 The Austin Chronicle: News: Lowe's Loses Again
But Jenkins, it turned out, was not any friendlier toward Lowe's than Byrne had been when she ordered construction halted on the Southwest Austin site, after yet another district judge, Lora Livingston, had ruled that the Austin City Council's approval of the Lowe's project probably violated the Save Our Springs Ordinance.
This is one of the stickier environmental cases to come along in a while and is further complicated by the fact that Lowe's started construction at the site more than a month ago, and the city has already spent the $1 million that Lowe's paid in mitigation fees as part of its settlement.
Ross, who was hired by Sunset Valley to monitor the Lowe's site, said that water meant to be discharged into a culvert on Brodie Lane was actually seeping into porous limestone rock, which she believes is an Edwards Aquifer recharge feature.
