Hobby Lobby, 5422 Forest Drive: 10 June 2019 (Moved) 17 comments
I was rather surprised by this closing, although East Forest Plaza has certainly had its share of turnover lately. The chain is pitching this as a relocation as noted in this press release, with the new location being at 2209 West Dekalb Street in Camden. I guess the management team could have relocated intact, but surely for the rank and file, those jobs are gone -- nobody is going to commute from Columbia to Camden.

HobbyTown USA, 10120 Two Notch Road Suite 5: May 2018 (moved) no comments
As reported by commenter Ralph, HobbyTown USA, home of
Radio Control, Models, Rockets, Games & Toys and more!
has left Two Notch Road for the former Tuesday Morning location at The Clusters Of Whitehall:
At one time, I was very into model rockets, having only the slight problem that my father was adamantly against my ever having any (I believe now, having read more, that he was probably thinking of "amateur rocketry" from the 50s where people would regularly manage to blow themselves up rather than "model rocketry"). There used to be a store on Forest Drive with either Centauri or Estes rockets, and a store at Boozer with both if I recall correctly, and I would go to look whenever I could. In the end, he kind of had to agree when it was an approved school project, but darned if one guy didn't manage to set the polo field on fire anyway..
All of which is to say, I'm sure I would be checking out out HobbyTown if I were still 14!
