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



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
