Almost all of the hobby shops in the area here are long gone. Remember when as a kid we would go there just to look at the train and slot car layouts. You could spend hours in there looking at all the models and stuff. When we were kids we built all kinds of stuff, flew model airplanes with those .049 and .029 engines. Built hand gliders, built models, made all kinds of stuff in the basement with balsa wood and glue. Had Stombecker slot car sets, H.O. and Lionel trains, H.O. Aurora race sets, we did all kinds of stuff. They even had big slot car tracks up town and had races there on Fri and Sat night. No one even knows what that stuff is anymore. Their idea of fun is looking at a stupid cell phone. Who remembers the Cox slot cars, or K @ B. Those were some fun days.
