I’ve been there before, but I realized that I should take pictures and share the awe I feel when I go by.

Found at Shady Lane Antique Mall just south of Terre Haute, Indiana

    If you ever travel to Tokyo, go to Akihabara (the “electric district”) and you’ll find stores like this everywhere. They’re a hobbyist’s dream. I wish we had more of these in the US.

      I’ve heard Akihabara is a bit of an overpriced tech/gamer tourist trap, and that if you want to actually shop there are neighboring cities that are far cheaper.

        Very true. Or you can find a local who can walk you through Akihabara and lead you to the actual good deals. A lot of the storefronts on the main strip will be overpriced, but there are good deals to be found if you wander off the main streets.

          I still want to go some day. Even if it is overly expensive, Akiba seems like such a cool town to experience.
