My favorite hobby shop was War and Pieces in West Hartford. Even as a kid I was on a first name basis with the owners. It's been about 20 years since they closed.
Wow,I thought Two Guys was a Jersey thing,I loved their toy dept,and later on their $ 1.99 record sales in the mid 70's
After Two Guys went out the building became a Kmart and now it's a Walmart

Here in Naples I've found Family Hobbies. Old time mostly R/C but have found a few kits and supplies
