I found out a few days ago that Caboose Hobbies in Colorado will be closing soon. The number of decent hobby shops is shrinking. I only went to caboose Hobbies once many years ago though I did order from them by phone a few times. Since I only scratch build now, I have little need for hobby shops. I have an extensive supply of scratch building materials and when I need something I usually order it from Walthers. I was really disappointed when the Floquil paints were discontinued though most of what I use now is acrylic craft paints - very cheap and easy to blend for various colors. Other businesses that I used to buy from such as Radio Shack and Brookstone used to have really useful products but they have changed so much that they now have very little of interest to me.
I am now trying to come up with my next project - it may not be a structure this time. Still thinking about it.

There is still a place for card in scratchbuilding, which you illustrate very well. Building little structures like this adds a bit of spice to the hobby when you get tired of or stuck on bigger projects.
