Not a Hobby Lobby or Michael's or any of that crapola, but a real deal old school hobby store.
The floor creaked, and the whole place smelled like paint and glue. There were RC airplanes hanging from the ceilings. They had trains, rockets, plastic car models, you name it.
The old man who owns the place had a glue stain on his hand, and gave me some very sound advice about how to keep my CA tips good (hit the bottle's bottom against a hard surface when are done using it to clear excess glue out of the tip so it went form a plug). He was a nice a guy, and I bought a few things.
It was great. It had been a long time, and all of you guys know that these places are an endangered species. If you get a chance and live in NorCal, check out the Loose Caboose in Napa. Spend a hundred bucks while you are there .
