A buddy came into town and we hit the main 4 hobby stores in town. 2 of them were holding tournaments, 1 for Games Workshop's Age of Sigmar and the other for Battletech.

We're spoiled here in Lexington. Pretty great hobby scene.

I don't know that I'd ever been to a hobby store before...

It was kinda dope. I was there for my nephews 7th birthday. They had a small indoor RC track in the back for the kids. One half of the store was basically a toy store for kids. The other half was like model trains, model cars, planes, boats, Warhammer stuff...table games.

They had a big area where you could work on your minatures or play board games or whatever.

Pretty typical of places?

Not typical at all. That sounds pretty special.

It's kind of rare to see a store cater to so many different hobbies.

When I was last in SF many years ago now, there was a Games Workshop store in a mall setting, somewhere near the Giants' stadium as I recall.

the RC bros there will tolerate jackass table gaming dorks. That would't fly in Cackalack. Here is a proper hobby shop with three huge outdoor RC tracks:

But that place haighter posted looks pretty boss. I'll bet that dude is paying a small fortune in rent every month, but the surrounding clientele is likely very price insensitive so he can get a king's ransom for a model.

Devoting floor space to gaming tables is where the big $$$ is.*

It looked to be in maybe a former grocery store? Maybe a place like a BigLots or something...
