hobby shop phone numbers - 11-16-2005, 09:08 AM

Does anyone else have all the local hobby shop phone numbers saved in their cell phonebook or am I the only one? lol

I found it to be very handy when I'm out and about and need to see if a LHS has something in stock so I can stop by and pick it up.

something to ponder anyway.....

I have LH and Hobbytown (Aurora) in my phone. Because they're far, I call before heading out to make sure parts are in stock.

Al's is so close, I just go without calling .

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Even if I didn't already work at HTU StC and Aurora, I'd probably still have them in mine. The two local Model shops are so close that I would just drive over and look.

Too bad about stantons, I used to buy my rockets there. Hey Max I saw you out at DeVry the other weekend when you sent me the PM, I had to run errands and my truck is busted and I'm waiting on parts to arrive. But I took a drive by and saw you out there, looked like you where trying to get your truck started.
I got the numbers of the inner city LHS's, heres the link, look at post #22.
what happened to stanton hobbies?

I did mention this on another thread but would it not be a good idea to make a sticky post of all the LHS around with contact and locations?
At the same time make it a poll on who favors which one more?
In the right place of course.

Another thought----Can some of these places sponsor this board and give out a member card for discounts? Make it a yearly membership of like $10-$15 and have meetings kinda thing. I am sure you want to see this place really take off for the locals here and have it grow right?
