Gone But Not Forgotten

RadioShack

1921–2015

The store with a part for everything.

The little corner electronics store with a parts drawer for every obscure connector, cable, and resistor — plus the free battery-a-month club card and the clerk who always asked for your name and phone number at checkout. It was where hobbyists, CB-radio owners, and anyone who needed one weird adapter ended up. Squeezed out of relevance, it went bankrupt and closed most stores in 2015.
