Ed - yeah thats where my sister lives, i was born at palmerton, pa.. my parents live in tamaqua, pa. i know allentown well and havent had time to stop by there for last 2 years. i dont get along with my brother in law. ahh... last time i saw him i put him in hostipal. lucky me i didnt get charged or jailed.

Elmer NJ is about 30 miles south of Philadelphia. If you grew up in South Philly and migrated to the NJ burbs like me and most everyone else in South Philly eventually does, Elmer is one of those places still far enough into NJ that you know it as "the sticks".

WesJY,

As far as Hobby stores I would say Bob's Hobbies' in Pitman and their a AAA Hobbies in Magnolia on the white horse pike if you're looking for cars. AAA Hobbies are really good because they're a distributor for Auto World. Now as fars as parts depending on what you're looking for Rabbit Racing is right in West Berlin/ Winslow NJ, a bit farther away is DCM they're in Hamilton Square, NJ. That's exit 63 off of 295 (about 1 hour 15 minute ride for me but I've driven farther for the pursuit of happiness). We need to hook up, I'm in Woodstown.

Hobby Universe in Erie has installed a big 4 lane Scalextic track in the back room. Great layout and owner is a great guy.
