Milwaukee Area Loses a Hobby Shop last night due to fire!

That's sad to see. We have enough stores closing due to other reasons, now this.

Wow.  I just found them last month, and went there twice before Christmas.  They were a diamond in the rough.

its always a shame to loose a hobby shop, but the place was a dump, mildue and mold in the store, water dammaged boxes from a bad roof.  the Milwaukee area has other hobby shops that are alot better than that place was

I agree with you Mike. There was no order what so ever in the store. Aisles where full of clutter and junk laying all over.

When I saw the topic title, I was worried it was Sommerfelds.

Dear Lord, it's going to be yet another compassionate year on the forum!

Nope!

Just telling it like it was! A mess!

Madison Hardware?

Never thought of it that way......and they knew where everything was!

I MUST AGREE WITH MARK & Mike

I have been at that location & the other two.

All three are MESSY , SMELLY, MOLDY , BARELY LIT UP, Major NEED OF HELP !

The one on Burliegh & 78st in Milwaukee is only one I would step in in recent years.

 THAT Son tries to keep up that one the best he can.

The one that burned down was a lawsuit in the making ! the Last time I was there Water was leaking on me in the Ho section & O gauge area.  The store was barely lit up .   the floor was slippery in areas.  Boxes were damaged by water. 

Lately I heard you had to call ahead to set up an appointment to get in .

the last time I was there was two years ago. I was never going back to that location .

I wont go back to their Good Hope & 76st either.  Last time I was there, I kneeled down to look at something. The carpet was soaked in Dog or cat **** ! Need I say more ! GROSS !!!!  

I am reporting  this as I experienced it !
