Hi Interesting to see, most of us never realized we should have taken pictures of all those hobby shops in our neighborhood before they were gone... At least people have made neat video's of Brodaks in recent times!

Hi Gerlad. I agree.
 We all thought they would be there forever.
Try this group on face book. It does bring back the good old days with pictures.

And here's what the building looks like today. As far as I know, an old friend of mine who grew up in that neighborhood still lives nearby. As a kid, he collected model magazines. Many were likely purchased from this former shop. He gave me boxes of them years ago....
