Today the family took an exciting trip to Bel Air, Maryland. We were looking for some place to go and Annie mentioned that she'd like to go to a book store, but was unsatisfied with BAM! There were Barnes and Noble stores in Lancaster and Camp Hill, but we've been to Lancaster enough times lately, and Camp Hill is no thrill. The next closest B&N was in Bel Air. I'd always heard of it, but couldn't recall actually ever having been to Bel Air at all. So, off we went.
We poked around the Barnes and Noble and the Michaels, where Annie and Katie bought a bunch of books and art supplies respectively. We dropped by the "Harford Mall" which was just a smaller, older, version of the Galleria. Then we had a disappointing lunch at the Double T Diner, which was just like the Lyndon Diner in York, but without the nasty fish smell.
After lunch, however, I did find a really proper hobby shop, called Hobby Works. It was a fine establishment, reminding one of the former glory of Race-O-Rama. It was a new, clean, well-stocked store, with a fine selection of train stuff, race cars, and tons of models. They also had tons of HO scale airfix and other brand plastic miniatures, which really took me back. They didn't have any actual RPG or non-plastic miniatures, but that was just fine.
I ended up buying a 1/72 plastic model kit of 2 Army Trucks, and some model glue. I haven't put a plastic model kit together in like 30 years, I'll try to get around to building them this week, so we can use one for the Mutants and Muskets diesel truck next week. Fingers crossed.
If Annie wants an interesting book store. You can't go wrong with "The York Emporium" Something for the whole family there.
