Bare concrete floor, stuff everywhere, a guy behind a counter in what looks like a small cave. Crazy. No one asked if I needed any help as I wandered around. Their collection of model kits seemed kind of dated, and I couldn't figure out any rhyme or reason to the way the kits were placed on the shelves. I didn't see any commercial airplane model kits - only military aircraft.

All in all, it was a very weird place. It looked like it had potential, but the disorganization and lack of customer service made it impossible to figure out whether the store was any good.
Actually sounds like a stereotypical model RR store to me. I bet dstan, Sr. would love it!
