Still a couple close to me, surprisingly with prices in line with what you would pay on the internet less the shipping.
There was a slot car track not too far away but it's closed now (virus did it in, I'm sure). My earliest memory of a hobby shop is from back in about '65. My middle brother and I would pass a hobby shop on the way home from school. We would go in for a few minutes and watch the HS guys racing, usually on the drag strip. I remember there was a transparent green Willys or Ford (I was only 10. I didn't know much about cars YET.
) that never lost a race.
