It's a sad day indeed.

Went home to visit the folks and decided to pay a visit to the store that began my journey in 40k.  Its a Hobby Town USA, and I was appalled to see the state of it once inside.  Apparently the previous store owner Jon sold it to a new guy last year right before the economy went to hell.  There was no Reaper Minis on the wall when there used to be hundreds.  There was maybe 5 blister packs of Fantasy and 40k each, and perhaps another 5 squad boxes for both games as well.  It was pitiful.

I mean seriously, I know...KNOW...Jon told me that the table top gaming was a large part of his profit just a few years ago.  Now its gone.  Along with all the guys that I used to hang out with.  The new owner didn't even carry the paint or decent brushes anymore (I use Vallejo brushes).  Not a good sign.  I felt like someone ripped out a piece of my heart and threw it in a fire.  Now Grand Forks, ND doesn't have anything or anywhere that supports Warhammer 40k.

Twas a sad day for me and a sad situation for the area's hobbyists.  Does anyone else have a similar experience with a favorite gaming store?
