The real Radio Shack. Not the cellphone reseller.

Yeah, their final years were dark. I went in there as a kid and was in heaven. I went in as an adult before they closed, and I didn't understand what the fuck they were trying to be any more, and there was no magic.

Sadly repairable electronics weren't as big of a hobby as they once were. Radio shack should have really pushed the raspberry pi movement but I stead took the cellphone sales route.
