Reply to "Jaye and Jaye Train Store in Cleveland"

FWIW, I got to the point where I only wanted to go downtown and patronize The Hobby House.

It's not exactly downtown and it sure isn't next door to the East Side, but Stockyard Express in Oberlin has become my current favorite.

Also, some of these old East Side hobby shops didn't technically fail.  Their owner simply retired or passed away.  Meaning they served their purpose for the original owner/creator.

Some, unfortunately, fell into the "not changing with the times" hobby store model and did indeed go under.

Also, it's often the people that we were with that make the memories so favorable/strong.  If I was at Jaye & Jaye, The Hobby House, or Willoughby Trains....it was because my maternal grandparents took me.  Some great memories indeed!!
