As long as we're on subject, I'm visiting my daughter in N Carolina this fall. Anything going on in the area then? Possibly late September or October, haven't firmed up plans yet.

Thanks

Fall in N Carolina is a spectacular time to visit Raleigh or Winston Salem !

Michael, to answer the question of Hobby shops in Durham, I'm not a dang bit of good . I know I want DESPERATELY to get into Charlotte and stop into Dennis carpenter ford reproductions and save myself some heavy freight . Then too, if you DON'T stop in Winston Salem , you have BLOWN a spectacular chance to see Quality Oil #5, a 1930 Shell oil station that was restored in 1992 by the N Carolina Art college nearby ! The LAST Quality oil service station , or number #9 , a Conventional Art Deco building has become a HAVE to Visit BBQ restaurant !

There is the Charlotte Auto Fair in September and The GoodGuys show in October, both at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Google them for dates/costs/etc. The cars and swap meet area are always packed, lots to see and do.

Not much in the way of hobby shops anymore, although there is a good R/C shop across the border in Rock Hill SC, they have a couple of tracks and a ton of stuff.

Thanks for all the suggestions!! It looks like I'll busier than I thought. I forwarded the info to my daughter, her husband is looking into the best dates to come down. I wish I could visit more, get 5 weeks of vacation year but try to use it!! 

Thanks again, looking forward to visiting!!!!
