I want to start out that I am not sure if this is the correct area to post this, but here it goes...

I am a truck driver and a model builder, so I get to travel around the US and Canada quite a bit. I made an amazing discovery last month when I was in Buffalo, NY. While parked at the only truck stop in town (Jim's) I noted an old train caboose in my side mirror... I got an took a closer look, and there before me was a hobby shop!

As it turned out, it was a BIG hobby shop with pretty good prices. Niagara Hobby

Have any other truckers run across a hobby shop in proximity to a truck stop?

PS. I also found a military museum with truck parking in Nebraska (of all places). the Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles was a very nice place. I liked it better than the Patton Museum, because it was better lit and there were more vehicles located outside in day light. He has plans to double his floor space, and ALL his vehicles are in running condition. If you ever find yourself on Interstate 80 in Nebraska, I highly recoment the stop.

Chad,

I am still in trucker infancy - 2 years, 5 months.

I stared out at Covenant, went to a small, local guy, who went out of business, and am now "flat bedding" for a small, local guy here in Michigan.

Do you do much building on the road? I was rather skeptical, but was able to do parts clean-up alright in a rattling sleeper.

I do the majority of building while on the road Airbrushing is either at home or in a motel if the weather is too bad I drive a Volvo 780 The bottom bunk converts to a table/chair This cab doesn't rattle too much

Can anyone tell me about Norther KY Hobbies in Florence, Kentucky? I am unexpectedly stuck here at the truck stop for the Easter weekend, and am looking for places of interest.
