Is the internet killing our hobby shops?

Yes, and the LHSs have been under fire since long before the internet. When I got back into R/C model airplanes in the mid 70s, Tower Hobbies had giant selection and great prices. In the late 80s when I got back into HO, Standard Hobby was the paramount in competition! So, for 30-35 years, the hobby shop business has been a tough business to make money in. It's pretty simple to sit here on this forum and shoot arrows at the STUPID LHS which doesn't change for the future! However, the realities of business in this constantly changing atmosphere are truly frightening! Any hobby shop proprietor that can roll with the punches, bob and weave and stay in business has my utmost respect!
