There used to be a couple of decent ones there back in the 80's but they are long closed. I am wondering if there is anything worthwhile there now. Thanks.

I was there a couple of years ago and they had very little O gauge.
Hello John
Rider's Hobby Shop has Lionel, MTH,etc.but they will order what you need.
Your best bets are:
-P&D Hobby Shop in Fraser (Detroit area)
-Chicago March Midwest O Scale Meet, usually held around St. Patrick's Day.
It's usually at least 2-3 days long and includes O Scale layout tours. One of the
largest O scale events in USA
-I've also found useful items at the Indianapolis and Cleveland area (11/2/13 this year) O scale shows.
