2. Must'a been 40 years since I went there. Good show. Sad to see it go.

Because of my job, I had many occasions to drive by it. Never more than 2 cars in the parking lot.


There is a newer, similar exhibit in New Jesey, Northlandz. Probably 15 20 cars in their lot on weekends. Old owner built it and ran it for years. Got old and sold it about 2 years ago. I doubt the new owner will succeed with it. He doesn't seem to have a focus on what to do with it.

Model trains.... when I was a kid, every kid had a train set. Model train stores in almost every town. The store in my town sold its trains at discount and now has only gaming.
