Hobby Town is the one that baffles me. Horrible location that services a hobby that has been its death throes since the 70s.
They actually expanded to that store in the mid 2000's. The old one was in the Village Square (where Walmart on College is now) and was a tiny strip mall shop. So those hobbys still must have some life left in them.

I was going to say that one of the reasons it lasted so long was their manager. She’s great. Known her since elementary school.

I did not know that.....My buddies and I briefly got into RC aviation in college and used to fly over at a field off Burbank. I still get the itch to get back into it sometimes . Maybe when my kids are a little older Sorry OP for the de-rail.

Have you seen any sorority girl on a game day?
Anyone who opens a boot store near Sorority Row will make a fortune.

Safety boots... work buys me a pair up to $200ish every year.
All the construction and plant workers around will keep them in business.

When I be worked in a plant early mid 2000’s we had a $200 boot allowance to redwing, cavendets, or the traveling boot trailer that would come to the parking lot. If we went anywhere else the allowance was $150.
I still have several pairs of mine I got each year.
