There is a Hobby Lobby on Peach St. I live about 45 mins south of Erie so I'm very familiar with their stock. PM me if you need help with directions.

Beaners is your 'old school' hobby shop, A little hole in the wall shop, with a little bit of everything...old and new kits, a good stock of evergreen/plastruct, glue, paint, a smattering of photo etch, and an AWESOME cat.....The Hobby lobby is your average hobby lobby, and has a 40% off online coupon...generally has ain stock everything available in their online catalog; some airbrushes,good stock of paint, resin making supplies, and a small selection of K&S stuff. Take your wife, she will enjoy it. A.C.Moore has a few models, and Michaels has a fair selection, and also has a 40% of weekly coupon. A.C. Moore, Michaels, and Hobby lobby are all wihin a couple miles of each other / A.C. and Michaels are in the millcreek mall, and Hobby Lobby is due east on Peach street, on the left, in the same plaza as Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes...if you hit the I-90 overpass, you've gone too far. Beaners is in Wesleyville on Buffalo road, call him for exact location....'Z'
