Has anyone else's Local Hobby Shop gone out of business lately?

I live up in Central New York and the nearest shop of any quality to me is almost 40 miles away in Syracuse, which on a good day, with no construction on the highway is a 35 minute ride. We used to have one here in town, but the owners decided to switch and cater to minature dollhouses instead of trains like they used to do. There are a couple of "hole in the wall" shops between here and Syracuse, but the quality and quantity of supplies are not satisfactory and extremely overpriced. I always wanted to own my own Hobby store that catered to model railroaders. Maybe now would be a good time to open one up here in my neck of the woods, because there are a ton of people around my parts that are into model railroading, ranging in all ages and sexes, and all of them that I know complain about the fact we have no decent supply shop here.
