prostreeter69 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Hey guys i will be un Chicago the end of this week a wondered if there was any good hobby shops around that I could check out? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownbri Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Not many shops left around here anymore, I don't think there's any left inside city limits. But there's Des Plaines hobbies in Des Plaines, Walts Hobbies in Crestwood, Berwyn Toys and Trains in Berwyn. Walts is my go to shop, they are well stocked on kits and paints, and they have a big selection of trains and rc stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two great ones (from the time I was transferred there) were Venture Hobbies in Wheeling and Al's Hobbies in Elmhurst (both long gone).

Mr. Metallic Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Not sure how far you are willing to go, but Brians Pro Shop and Hobby in Dekalb is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prostreeter69 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Thanks guys! My training is in Elk Grove so that will be base for us. We (wife and me) plan to visit the city and do some fun stuff so a little traveling not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allis200 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Brian's Pro Shop and Hobby is a great stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Sikora II Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Des Plaines Hobby probably not too much of a hike from Elk Grove. Ron's in Mundelein was already mentioned, and it's well worth stopping there if you're in that area. There is a well-stocked Hobbytown USA on Waukegan Road in Northbrook too.

prostreeter69 Posted Monday at 01:19 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 01:19 PM Hey Guys: Thanks for the info again, I was able to make it to Walt's and Des Planes and picked up a few things. The wife and I had a great time visiting your city and ate way too much food. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
