be gone

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unless a suitable building can be located in the next few weeks....the
shop will be gone after 60 years in business due to things beyond our
control..To date no place has been found that is within reasonable
fiscal reach...and those that have been within the limits have been
too small or non workable for retail...At this time it looks like the
end will be sometime in June.

To all of the faithful supportive customers and friends...THANKS for
your support!!

I've only been in Pittsburgh 6 years but I'll certainly miss the place.

Here's hoping some solution can be found.

If not, there's always Hobbytown USA at the Robinson Town Center.
They have a pretty good collection and have been getting new
releases for awhile from Tamiya, Bandai, Revell Germany and such.

I stopped in and spoke with Scott a few weeks ago when up visiting the
daughter. Real sad what is happeing in Dormont.
