				Best places to hobby
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			In the continental U.S. What is the best city to hobby in? Specificaaly, what city has the best selection, best pricing and best ratio of hobbyist to providers? I'm thinking of having a "hobby cation" and would like to get an idea of where to visit. Thanks for the input.

			Dude, you live there     but if not your hometown, then just drive a few hours to Big D.  I'd be like a kid in a candy store if I lived in Dallas or any Texas city.

There you have it. When I used to travel the highways and byways of this country, I've found Texas to be my ATF hotspot to hobby, for many reasons. The variety/ selection is great.

			Well, in my experience Atlanta is the Mecca, at least for the Southeast. The is not only fantastic quantity, but awesome quality. The prices are extremely competitive also.

			Texas is great, but I have to believe there are other locations with more exotic providers or more of a hobby friendly location than the lone star state.

			I know the OP limited his search to the USA—but: 
  
From everything I have read here and elswhaer . . .almost anywhere BUT the USA has a better legal climate for PFP. Central America, dominican Republi8c, Austrailia, Canada, Europe and of coourse the far-east. In the middle-east it seems to be Israel and nowhere else (well maybe if you have real jet-set money). 
  
My vote is for Houston and/or Dallas.

			Pheonix is my favorite city to go for play.  You do need to be a P-411 member though.
