I wish I would have lived in a bigger city to have store like this when I was a kid. I absolutely love Radio Shack and it was like a candy store for me. I as well would take apart everything I could get my hands on just to see how it worked. In fact, I ended up working for Radio Shack for three years when I got older. I hated the retail aspect of it, but I loved the electronics part of it. I learned so much working there. I was really sad when they went bankrupt and all the stores closed up. There are still some franchise stores here and there, but all of the corporate ones are gone. The one I used to work at sits empty with the sign still over it, but nothing inside. It sucks not being able to just run down the road and find the diode, fuse, or resistor you need. I stopped going to Best Buy a long time ago. They were just so overpriced.
