I was thinking this weekend how I miss RadioShack. Really liked this store as a kid. I can't recall there being one in my hometown, but after we moved we would shop at the one here sometimes if we needed A/V parts like antenna splitters, etc.
I always liked their toys and electronic science kits that you could build things with. I've noticed Michaels sells some similar kits these days.
There was a location here in the mall as well, but I think mainly that one sold cell phones and such.
The only thing I didn't like about RadioShack was that I got my first smartphone through them which I felt was a mistake. I wanted AT&T but RadioShack sold phones for Sprint and Verizon as well. When they ran the credit check they did it for all three carriers so I got 3 dings on my credit. Oh well.
Both of the RadioShack stores in my town closed, but there is actually still one open south of here. I've never been to it but was planning to visit it sometime, I just keep forgetting when I'm down there.
