Cape Coral, Florida.

I have not been to the new store yet. I am living like a hermit until my wife and I get vaccinated.

Wow, that's great! I just googled it and saw it's close to 3 hours away from me! How big is the selection of trains and train supplies, especially HO scale? It could be a great road trip for me and the wife (and the pooch)!
