There still is a Reed's hobby shop in La Mesa. This layout is in their new store in Escondido (2nd location). This store used to be called "Branchline Hobbies", Steve Bovee the owner of Reed's bought it in Nov. 2001. I've been managing the store for him since then. Before Reed's I was one of the owners of Branchline Hobbies. But as of 30 jan 2003 that will change, see my post in General Topics "Moving"
