I live just north of Cincinnati OH and we are blessed with many quilt shops close by. Bella quilts, Pohlar fabrics, Sew Easy, Seams So Easy, Aunt Ruths, Quilters Studio, Stitches, Sewn, Silk ROad. I think that is all of them within 20 miles of my house. If I drive a little bit further there are a bunch more. I really like Fabric Shack about 30 miles away.
I'm not sure if it is a good thing or not but most of the shops know me and my fabric tastes. There are also several JoAnns, Hancocks and Hobby Lobby close by.
