Our local RadioShack doubled down on the maker components. I go buy things from them weekly just to show they have community support. I really hope they don’t close.
- the_only_law 4y agoDespite the statements at the start of the article, I remember at least the tail end of RadioShack and that still existed near me when I first got into electronics. Nowadays, a lot of my project ideas die because I need some part, that I have to order and wait for shipping and by the time that happens, I've lost motivation or my mind has engaged another idea. It would be really nice to have a RadioShack or microcenter to at least pick up basic stuff, but ofc the former is basically dead and the latter has 0 presence the third largest US economy somehow.
- Mountain_Skies 4y agoGoing to guess your local RadioShack is one of the handful of independent RadioShack dealers left. It would be a shame if they ended up dropping the RadioShack brand because the current owners of the brand find being profane as a good way of getting attention.
