It was located at 4113 Elyria Avenue before moving into the Sheffield Shopping Center in the 1970s. Mr. Dobrinski also ran an insurance company business adjacent to the hobby store. It seems that the insurance company eventually became his main focus, with the hobby store disappearing from the directory in the mid-1980s. It wasn't until later (around 1999) that the second Clearview hobby store (Clearview Train & Hobby) was started by Ken Logar. So I couldn't find any connection between the two businesses.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-74119062382831143102014-11-25T11:45:10.643-05:002014-11-25T11:45:10.643-05:00Is this the same Clearview Hobby that used to be a...Is this the same Clearview Hobby that used to be at the Sheffield Center? I used to go there frequently in my jr.high school days. That was "the" place to go.JIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01964611503658495551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-37274675630684992252014-11-24T08:46:11.331-05:002014-11-24T08:46:11.331-05:00He was a very vocal puss.He was a very vocal puss.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-1159574896623567592014-11-24T08:35:27.928-05:002014-11-24T08:35:27.928-05:00Pretty comical photo of the kitty!Pretty comical photo of the kitty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
