Like it or not, that is the way that things are going. The family grocery, drug store filling station, farm, garage, hardware and almost all family endeavors are gone and so the family hobby store as well will go.

I drive 100 miles one way to my hobby store and pay more than if I bought over the web or by mail. But they have supported my needs and helped me out for a long, long time. I also live in the boondocks. But I know eventually they will probably be gone as well.
