Retail Glass Distributors

I've got at least two good stained glass retailers here in Fort Wayne,
both with pretty decent selections, and I still drive down to Kokomo
from time to time just because I can.

I'm wanting to go up there. Do you know the hours or can you point me
towards a web page with their hours? Do they sell all their regular
glass to hobbyists there, too?

I was in Atlanta last week. I looked in the yellow pages under
stained glass and it went from architec... to art... with no Armstrong
in there. I'll have some time to kill there Monday morning. Can you
tell me where the Armstrong outlet store is and where I can find their
hours?

Thanks, Michael

Armstrong's outlet store is in the N Marietta area, in Cobb International
Industrial Park which is off of Cobb Parkway (US41), North of Barrett
Parkway. The building is in the rear of the complex, behind Brigade
Quartermasters. I'm pretty sure they are open 9-5.

The URL to the retail side was in my original post: http://www.theopshop.com/

They don't sell "all" their glass, simply because their production line is
essentially demand-based: as I recall, they don't actually make some colors
and textures unless someone's ordered it. But they do have a pretty large
selection available at any given time.

There's a phone number on the webpage, and whenever I've called they've
been very helpful. I'm sure they can do a much better job answering your
questions than I can.

Is Armstrong still making glass there, or is it all from China now?

Thanks for the links to Kokomo and Armstrong. From the Armstrong link
I found all the information for the outlet store in Atlanta. I've got
an early flight down there tomorrow and the meeting I need to attend
doesn't start till 1PM, so I'm heading up there to take a look. If I
want some of the glass and shipping is too pricey, I've got travel
back to Atlanta in a few more weeks. Since it's under 400 miles from
where I live (southern Indiana), work will let me drive my own vehicle
and reimburse me for gas. I might go that route and pick up the glass
myself.

And Kokomo is just a couple hours drive north of me. As soon as
possible I'm wanting to take a Friday off and drive up there and check
it out.

China, but they got a big warehouse with stuff in it that the distributors
don't carry, lots of nice stuff, and unusual.

and did you get the box with the vases?

From Hartsfield Inconvenient Airport, go N on I-85, it will merge with
I-75 in a couple of miles. Continue N right through downtown ATL, (expect
LOTS of traffic) and then ease over into the right 3 lanes as I-75 splits
off to the right. Continue N on I-75 to exit 269, (Barrett Parkway).

Turn L at that bottom of the exit and go West about 3 or 4 miles. Turn R on
US 41 (Cobb Parkway). There is a Carmax dealership on your Left at that
intersection just before you turn. You will turn left into the industrial
complex a couple of miles North.

The entrance is at a cross-over between the divided lanes where there is no
traffic light. If you see a small airport on your right as you go up a long
hill, you went too far.
