There used to be a hobby shop in town that catered to all kinds of things, from metalworking, to mini figures, to sewing and leathercraft. Model kits, trains, science kits, and if I remember correctly they even had a small section dedicated to chemistry supplies.
That was when I was a child.
Now that I’m actually in to several of those things, it’s closed. My parents used to go for TTRPG stuff.
I’d love to not have to drive an hour and a half to pick up a leather stamp, or pop in to see if they got a new shipment of metals I need. And don’t get me started on outdoor hobbies. The best we’ve got is a few shitty national chain sporting good stores.
