The end of an era.
Sad.....................
Yep.
Joining Woolworth, W.T. Grant, Lit Brothers, A&P, Horn & Hardart. Soon to be joined by Sears.
I worked at Sears 40 years ago in part to make money to buy ham radio supplies at Radio Shack. My grandson will feel the same about today's stores 40 years from now, if there is still an America.
It is sad to me although I have to admit that I haven’t been in a Radio Shack more than once per year or two in the past decade.
The end of over priced cheap crap.
Really. One of my favorite birthday gifts I got as a kid (1970's) was a Radio Shack metal detector. I used to dig up my grandparent's yard looking for stuff.
I had a "co-op" job as a junior in my technical high school teaching computers to 7th and 8th graders on TRS-80 computers.
I rarely go into a Radio Shack now, but when you need a connector or adapter or special cable in a pinch, it's about the only place to go. I read posts on this thread about Fry's, but there aren't any around here near Philly. The only other place would be Micro Center and I have to drive 40 minutes to get there.
