It's happening here as well, stores, restaurants and businesses of all types closing or moving on while government takes years to complete construction and disrupts the lives of many people along the way. That, plus the Internet competition is not making it any easier for local stores to stay profitable. At least this guy is going to try to relocate, most just shut down. One LHS here moved several time before shutting for good, but still maintaining their Internet store.

Thanks, Don. Yes, it's sad and I will miss them. They may "reinvent" themselves at some point, but we'll see. Their reasons for closing are mainly due to the road/LRT construction & the fact that their lease is up. An unfortunate combination of logistics. At least the owner is going to still be active with clinics, online videos, etc. 

Fortunately, I still have other LHS options but nothing quite as convenient -- I was spoiled as this shop was only about a mile away. They were particularly good for paints and glues, and I might be able to find those at another LHS that specializes in cars and planes! The owner also has a connection there, so that will help.
