are they even still called "Radio Shack"? or is it "The Shack" now? They use to be the most amazing place ever, and would supply components and things to keep you busy beyond your wildest imagination. and at cheap prices too! Some kids went to the mall for the arcade. Radio Shack was my arcade. But that was decades ago..
No, they're still called Radio Shack. Not that they bear much resemblance nowadays. I saw (and programmed) my first TRS-80 there. Ah, halcyon days - now they're a phone store and the bookstore in the same mall - the bookstore where I bought Gödel, Escher, Bach and I Will Fear No Evil on the same day - is dead.

We need new cool stuff. The old stuff's all sad.
