Radio shack has been officially dead for years as far as I'm
concerned, all they do is sell phones, toys and Sat set ups.

I buy components there all the time. Granted, they are not my
one-stop-shopping place, nor are they the first place I go to,
but when I'm in a pinch and need something now then they often
have very simple, common components (an opamp, led, connector,
pot, etc.)
