I check periodically, but I don't see anything within an hour of me. It's a shame, as I'm in the more populated part of my state, between the biggest and third biggest cities and I read about these places and feel I'd really enjoy them.

I have a milk frother for example, that burned out its stupidly non resetting thermal fuse because it got put on the base, something bumped the start button with nothing in and it burnt out. I'd love to have someone show me how to locate that bit and replace it, but I dunno where to go for that.

Same with the 3D printer. I can afford one, but at this stage of life I'd rather someone give me a hands on run through and give me some of their wisdom from experience than me playing around and getting frustrated until I get it right.
