To those of you in Chicago

I spent a couple of days in Chicago this week. I visited Al's and Venture Hobbies. I nearly wet myself. You guys are lucky to be near such fine shops.

Venture Hobbies is great. All sorts of stuff I've never seen in a store before.

I get to Venture once or twice a year...always have come out with a much lighter wallet. Always hit the "Sale" wall in the corner of the store; have found something everytime.

Al's is the best. I force my girlfriend to come with me when I go, otherwise I leave with half the store.

Yep ... we are lucky here in the Windy City area ... Al's and Venture are some of the best ... I try to get in to one or the other as often as I can. I am closer to Al's than Venture ... but Venture is very much worth the drive ... Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]
