Another LHS gone. North Central Hobbies in St Louis

[mjennings]

North Central Hobbies in the Saint Louis area is closing. They have been just squeezing but for a few years now, and the owners health has gone done lately. In highschool I'd hangout in the shop after getting off my lifeguard shift at the Y. (Old location). Lots of memories looking at rockets while my dad shopped for train stuff. And shopping with my own son there the last few years. They don't have much left, but are selling what's left next Saturday if you're in the area.

Unfortunately, this is happening all over the US. Internet sales are crushing local hobby shops.
