Reese asked me about the Johnson City (aka J.C.) hobby store. He had heard it was closed. So I checked on it Tuesday.

The store has been sold but now is open under a different owner.
I didn't ask if he would honor our club discount.

Reese also said earlier that the Morristown hobby shop had closed.

Knoxville Hobbyland...
The new J.C. owner said that the original owner near Best Buy in Knoxville was having a hard time trying to inventory and manage three stores. According to the J.C. owner, the original owner is also going to close the Best Buy location and will (or already has) opened one in the Turkey Creek area. The good thing is that it is across the street from the Turkey Creek congested area so there is more parking. The new store is close to the new Gregg store (forgotten the exact name)...it is heavy on appliances.
