Family Hobbies is your best bet. They are about 25-30 min. south east of downtown in Smyrna TN. Manly a RC store they have a room in the back for us kit guys. Good amount of kits,Tamiya paint, full evergreen tree, and other misc. goodies Philip's toy mart south west of town in Belle Meade sold kits and supplies,but it's been a couple years since I was there,and they needed a good restocking back then so call first. Then between them is Hudson's classic hobbies IIRC It's a hole in the wall hobby store-ish shop. Might not go out of my way to go there,but if your in the area it's worth a quick look,and you'll want to make it quick. (Cats)I haven't been there lately either so things might have changed. We have hobby lobbies all around the area. Can't really help with food. I don't go out much, and there are so many new restaurants popping up all over. Heck I never heard of Nashville Hot chicken until KFC did their commercial,and now it's everywhere. A quick note for you guys in east TN . Cookeville raceway and hobbies just steps away for TN tech campus.
