One of the few hobby shops still going strong in the detriot area.

People now have this strange notion that a actual facility can't be a good business- it takes a different approach and direct "selling" instead of a checkout clerk- but it can still be a great business!

looks like a very nice set-up, we have very average hobby shops in australia in my opinion hope he continues to do very well.

So they are further out from where they were before... dependent on where you live (or lived). I liked Mound Rd as they traffic never seemed to be too bad (or better than M53)

You know its bad when everyone that works there knows you by first name Jay its a little closer to the east side,not far from the last move when they where on Utica rd.Whats nice is now there lots of room for parking,Its defiantly a first class hobby shop and 90% of the time his prices are as good if not better then tower. I would recommend anyone visiting the area to stop buy and check it out,it defiantly worth the trip.

Larry's is a real nice store, I stopped in last time I was visiting family in Detroit.

Did Joe's in Farmington finally close it's doors? I wish I could have visited one of the old Joe's stores BITD..... but that was before I lived there. What's left up there, other than Rider's and even they closed half their stores in the Metro area?

Joe's is gone . Riders in taylor is gone but reopened under a new owner. They mostly cater to the rc plane crowd. Nankin hardware is still going with there rc shop . The prop shop I think is still open . Not much left in the downriver area.

The prop shop is still open just not a lot of rc10 parts left and dirt burners moved to Livonia, P&D hobbies and MIS is a newer on road track and hobby shop are both Groesbeck.
