A week from today, my favorite local hobby shop will be no more. Doug Flores, who with his wife, has owned and operated 'Riverside Hobbies' for 33 years here in Sacramento, will be retiring. The sad thing is that I believe that had it not been for a tough economy, computer games, etc., Doug would have preferred to keep his doors open indefinitely. I will miss not only his store, with it's extensive line of models and detailing products, but also his friendship. I can't tell you how many lunch hours I spent sitting in Doug's shop talking about politics, the economy, the weather, etc. His shop reminds me of the shops my dad used to bring me to in Milwaukee when I was a young kid in the early '60s. I have been a loyal customer of his for over 26 of his 33 years in business, and can say that his shop and his friendship can't be replaced. Take care, Doug and 'Happy retirement'!!
