I will be in the quad cities area this Friday and have a few hours to spare. Are there any stores that sell historical miniatures for 28mm range in the area?

Thank you in advance for helpful replies.

I've always loved the "Quad Cities" moniker. So are the residents Quadlings, or Quadlanders?

I think they are caller Quadburgers ;)

I have not been that way in a long time. But time on the internets indicate that answer is No.
There is a place called: "The Hobby Conner"

Might be you best shot.
But it looks like GW type stuff.

Iowa City IA, 52240

And that is an hours drive west of the Q-Cs.

If you pass through Peoria, IL on your way, stop in at Just For Fun. Its only a few blocks off of I-74.

Most people in the Quad Cities are Iowans. We let a few folks from Illinois in, though. Davenport must have a hobby store somewhere. No?

Thank you everyone for your replies. I ended up killing time at the Quad City Botanical Center -- would have preferred a miniatures store, but none to be found near by.
