From what I've heard, it's supposed to open near the end of this month. I was chatting with Dave on Saturday but forgot to check with him.

Re: Open date for GreatHobbies-Ottawa?

I agree with BB...we have a couple of good smaller hobby shops, but good thing we don't have a large store close by... the wife would never see me again!!

Re: Open date for GreatHobbies-Ottawa?

I love going to Ottawa. It's our favourite city to visit.

If I go to the opening I won't have any money left for my vacation.
Hmmmm???????????

Tough choices to make.

4 months in Arizona or more R/C stuff?
Maybe I can find a way to do both.

I'll certainly visit the store when we go to Ottawa. Drop the wife at the National
Gallery and then off to Great Hobbies.

Smile Pictures from opening Day GREAT Hobbies Ottaw

What it look like today at Grand opening of Great Hobbies in Ottawa

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kennethpark/

Just few shots of the morning action at the store - people were also playing with RC buggies in the parking lot for giggles. Big day had no PST/GST - Included on items ordered on same day.

I bet Dave Ress and the rest of staff were exhausted by end of day 6pm
