Going to be in Minneapolis / St Paul this weekend. Are there any good 2 Rail hoby shops near the Mall of America?

If you're looking for 2 rail O the only hobby store in the Twin Cities that carries it is Scale Model Supplies in St Paul. Hub Hobby in Richfiel which is not far from the mall has a pretty good train department with a fair amount of 3 rail
Scale Model doesn't have much in 2 rail, but they carry a good supply of 3 rail. They are well stocked in all smaller scales. Everything in the store is priced at full retail. If your stuck at the mall and looking for just 2 rail, I would say don't bother. Hub is close, but if you choose to go there you run the risk of bumping into Matt. 
Its like looking for a good S Scale hobby store, good luck
Des Plaines Hobbies in the Chicago area (Des Plaines, IL) has quite a bit of 2R O scale and tons of O scale detail parts. Caboose Stop Hobbies in IA has a lot of 2 and 3 rail cars and various scale items.

Again, Scale has some S stuff, but no a lot. Actually, they may have more S than 2 rail.
