Al's hobbys closed in Elmhurst last year too. Shame.

We do have Value Hobby based in Addison. It's a different beast; all ARFs, all electric, all inexpensive Chinese products. But with local pickup from the warehouse (not a regular store, don't walk in expecting to browse/ buy without buying online first).

I appreciate the place, but it has limited range and doesn't address the needs of a kit builder / glow/gas user.

PD.
