Re: [IRCA] RadioShack Has Essentially Shut All Its Stores

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Do any other cities have such a collection?    Surely a sociological 
paper must be in the offing to explain why such a concentration of 
geekishness?   These outfits have an online presence, but actual 
storefronts as well are still being maintained.

I guess there's two elements to the Radio Shack nostalgia.   Parts, 
yes (and apparently we still have those), but stores with actual radios....no.

best wishes,

Nick
