In reading the comments on here I had to laugh. So many of you say "I'd rather drive 30 minutes to go to ....." or saying things about the stores being in your neighborhood.
The LQS's, Joanns, Hobby Lobby and Hancocks that I refered to earlier and call 'local' are all at least 30-40 minutes away. I only refer to it as a "road trip to the fabric store" if I go to a store an hour or so away. I live in a little rural town where you can't even buy a needle or spool of thread. LOL
