Chicago hobby shops

i put Chicago hobby shops in to google got 7 shops all with in 10 miles of each other. sounds like you are about to have some fun. here in wichita ks we are going to have a instustrail trade show in 2 weeks. do all trade shows happen on tuesday thru thrusday?
 
ya did that too. just thought I'd get lucky with some Chi peeps with some local info. most of the ones close to my hotel are trains or art stuff. the best looking one is HobbyTown about 40 minutes away.
yes most trade shows do run midweek like that.
Witchita eh nice. I have used that airport a few times :) my head office is in Hutch.

cheers
 
airport

wichita has just started a big airport expansion. i live about 3 miles from the air port, my mom lives right under a flight path. my dad would watch the panes come in. he said that each plane followed the same path with in 2-3 feet, of each other. i lived on the south side of town 10 miles away from air port, from 1955 to 2006. if you come throu wichita again go west on ridge road less than a mile there is are lots of good eating places. you can't get a bad meal in wichita. there must be 20 very good eating places with in 5 miles of my house. Applebes at ridge and Maple is really good.
