our first HobbyTown did pretty much the same thing, then they folded.
The 2nd one was going great until the guy that owned both of them (one in woodbridge, the other in manassas VA) decided
to take a Gov't job out in CA.
The couple remaining hobby shops mostly cater to the car/ARF Electrics, and Giant models. Not much in the way of fuel choices
and I have to drive 25 miles now to get any kind of modeling goods. Have to plan up a list before I go now days.
