Bloomington IL Hobby Shops?

[Raoul Ross]

I'll be spending a week enjoying (working in?) the Bloomington area for a week starting the 11th. I found a really nice slot car store but looking more for a Scale Model store (besides Hobby Blobby).

Thanx in advance!

Well I understand now why nobody replied to my request. I spent a week all over down there and every town I visited I googlized local hobby shops and got back nada. Bloomington, Springfield, Peoria,  Champain, Matoon, Danville, and many others, nothing. The only things that came up were HL and Micheals. A surprising number of slot car tracks but central Illinois is a LHS Dead Zone. ?

The only LHS that I found n this area closed about 5 years ago, it was in Pontiac (about 25 mi north of Bloomington). Lived here for almost 7 years and still haven't found a club in the area either.
