Agree on all counts. It’s a little sad to see a fixture of my childhood and adult life turn to dust. It was once the go-to store for electronic parts and such. Bygone era

“It was once the go-to store for electronic parts and such.”

Bought my first Heathkit radio, and my first computer (Tandy Model III) at Radio Shack.

Now, they don’t even carry that kind of stuff.

They could have made a go selling Amateur Radio gear, and highest-end computers, but they tried to become “Spencer’s Gifts” instead.
