svaz Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I tried finding HobbyTown, but no dice. Anything else out here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MHaz Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) I'm assuming you mean Huntsville, AL, right? The hobby town is off US Highway 72, just east of Madison Square Mall. Heading east, it's the first light past the mall, just a couple doors down from HHGregg. RC Hobbies is on the northeast side of town. Depending on where you're staying, the best way to get there is take I-565 eastbound to the Oakwood exit (21, IIRC), then hang a left on Oakwood (westbound). At the first major intersection (light), Meridian St., hang a right. RC Hobbies is ~3-4 miles on your left. Look for a Chevron station on your right once you pass under Highway 72 (kind of funky overpass with a traffic island separating the northbound lanes), and right across from said Chevron is RC. HTH Edit: there's also Southerland Station on Governor's Drive. It's more of a train shop, but paints, etc. and some kits are there. Take Memorial Parkway south from I-565 and it's the 2nd exit. Go left at Governor's Drive, and Southerland will be on your left about a mile down the road. It shares an entrance with Captain D's.

SonyKen Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Mike, Dang, I didn't know that someone is trying on another Hobbytown USA in the Rocket City? I am going to have to leave home early enough on Sunday going back to go by there. Thanks for the information! Best Regards, Ken Bailey (SonyKen) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) I know they have decent shops there (heck, all the K&S tubing bought by the Rocket City Rednecks proves that). :D As for me, next time I go through Huntsville, I'll probably spend too much time drooling over the rockets at USSRC (unless I know the local hobby shops are stocked with a good selection of space kits that is). ;) Edited March 9, 2012 by Jay Chladek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
