Pretty sad IMO. At least I can say I remember "back
in the day" that Radio Shack was a place I spent
a lot of money. No more unfortunately.


My financial patronage dropped off quite a bit after they ceased the
paper catalog.


Oh crap Bob, I know what you mean scary that
was exactly how I felt

I used to flip through the pages and note nifty toys to
buy and evaluate when extra cash accumulated in my entertainment jar.


Exactly.


Nowadays I only stop in for an occasional fuse or battery with the
exception of an HD tabletop I got a few months ago they were blowing out
at discount pricing.


I may make it up there once or twice a year if that
unfortunately.
