I avoided that mall in White Plains since the FIRST shooting there, is Westchester Hobby still down the street from the Roger Smith Hotel? I don't think the RSH is even there anymore! They still exist (
http://rogersmith.com) A Roger Smith Hotel neon would be nice on a layout, they used to be a chain of hotels in east coast cities, lo I digress... On foot in White Plains, it used to be a landmark in most directions; "Pass the Roger Smith Hotel, go down the hill on the right, just past County Optical is the Hobby Shop, YOU CAN'T MISS IT." They used to have EVERYTHING including those small Viking brand ocean liners.
I miss the place in Wappingers Falls that closed, I understand they only do mail order now of laser kits. That place had an OUTSTANDING inventory of Faller kits from the 60's, THIRTY YEARS LATER. I think I'm off to Blauvelt.
