My name's actually not Steve
I visited America last month. I hadn't been to America in over 9 years, and I hadn't visited my hometown in over 13 years. When I lived in North Phoenix, I was a regular customer of Andy's Hobby Headquarters in North Glendale. The last time I shopped there was in March 2012, and I bought my 537 USS Reliant from Star Trek there, plus the aztec decals.
Then over the years, Andy started a YouTube channel and his business expanded considerably as his channel gained in popularity. So when I visited Arizona in August, I could visit the store and took pictures inside. I posted a write-up with photos on my modeling blog. If you take a look, you can leave a like on the page (no Wordpress account or any login required).

If you're interested in the modeling scene here in Japan, I often post pics of model kit stores and such on this blog.
