I was gonna say! I think we still have a few locations here in Southern California too! In fact, I know we do...I just looked at the phone book and saw some locations listed.

Plenty of them in the Boston Area. I didn't know that Circuit City owned them though. I won't go into
a Circuit City, but I love Radio Shack.

No, it's just in Canada. Circuit City bought out Radio Shack's Canadian operations. That's why their old stores are called "The Source" now.
But Radio Shack's stil around in the US, though.

Yep. I have something crazy like three within a five-mile radius of my house...soon to be equipped with a Starbucks counter. :D
Kidding on the Starbucks...although there's about 10 within a five-mile radius of my house...

Yep, there are tons in the states. What a weird store anyway. It's like odds and ends and junk.

It's a good place to find cell phone accessories like headsets and chargers. It seems like most other stores never have the one I need.

Come to think of it, I think there still may be some around in my area. I just have to look in the phone book for locations.

Yes, we have a Radio Shack in Hamilton Mall, another one in Shore Mall, another one in Northfield, and one in Ventnor Heights(Ventnor Plaza)...Radio Shack is cool, lots of computer accessories there, also stuff like MP3 players and R/C vehicles...Yes, it's techie heaven. And their staff is knowledeable about the stuff they sell...unlike some places where they don't have the foggiest idea!

I've always been under the impression that Radio Shack's merchandise was pretty much junk...I don't know, I guess it's just people's opinions that I have heard concerning items they have bought there in the past.

Got a lot of them here in NC. I was able to replace the cable for my digital camera there a few months ago.

Radio Shack- The "subway" of electronic stores!
Subway as in the restraunt chain that seems to be every small town. Living in a small town, I appreciate having a radio shack in our community because the small department store here has a really limited electronics deaprtment.
