When I was a kid, within 2 miles of my house was an RC hobby shop, a train shop (still there), a model rocket hobby shop, and two dime stores that all had all kinds of paints and plastic models like hobby lobby does now. Besides that there was a shop for women's crafts stuffs and two sewing stores. There was even a gun smith, cobbler, and a shop for just stereo hi-fi equipment. There was also a real drug store with a soda fountain. The bike shop was 3 miles away.

They almost all went out of business when the VCR and video tapes came out.

There are still a few hobby shops like the RC plane shop and the train shop still in business, but now they are being seriously threatened by the internets.
