George, have you always lived down around Birmingham or were you close to Huntsville at one time? The first time I went to Huntsville, I couldn't believe all the hobby shops that were there. They dwindled down over the years, but at one time it was amazing, at least to me.

Of course, I'm from a rural area and mail order was all that I had growing up. Even one shop was amazing to me when I went to the huge (to me) town of Jackson, TN and found the railroad/rocket section of Duffy's Home Center in the back right hand corner. IIRC, the owner was a railroad guy, but had other hobby stuff back there also. Not long after I found that shop, the owner passed and the hobby section disappeared. The store soon closed also.
