Craft shops & MRR

[ezdays]

Like Wayne, I'm not a big fan of Michael's, not a lot there and you pay the price if you don't have one of their coupons. Here are the choices I'm faced with:

• Walmart: Acrylic paint (50 cents for 2 oz) and other craft items, Drive distance, two miles
  
• Michael's: Craft stuff, only if I can't find it somewhere else close by, in the same shopping center as Walmart
  
• Hobby Lobby: again, mainly crafts, most times I've left empty-handed. Drive distance, nine miles
  
• Hobby Bench: mostly crafts, planes and R/C. Some trains, not sure what since their web site hasn't been updated in years. Drive distance, about 14 miles.
  

Most other train shops nearby have closed, the closest now is around 35 miles away and I've not been there in a very long time. Same goes for Hobby Lobby and Hobby Bench. And yes, I've bought online recently and have for a long time.
