Pretty sad IMO. At least I can say I remember "back

a lot of money. No more unfortunately.

My financial patronage dropped off quite a bit after they ceased the
paper catalog.

Oh crap Bob, I know what you mean scary that
was exactly how I felt

I used to flip through the pages and note nifty toys to
buy and evaluate when extra cash accumulated in my entertainment jar.

Exactly.


Nowadays I only stop in for an occasional fuse or battery with the
exception of an HD tabletop I got a few months ago they were blowing out
at discount pricing.

I may make it up there once or twice a year if that
unfortunately.

like looking through the rear view of a digital camera, showing a photo
of a Radio Shack store,,, ''The Shack''

Hi Guys,

Just in regard to your comments, I must say when I used to live in the
States many years ago, I would often be a regular visitor to the good
ol' local Radio Shack store. It would be sort of a Saturday morning
ritual for me when my then-wife and I were out and about running
errands. While she was at the drugstore getting a few bits and pieces,
I would make my way across the sidewalk to the 'shack' to peruse all
the neat little gadgets available at the time. It would sometimes take
my wife literally hours to drag my keister outta that store to go home
heh. I wonder if that had anything to do with her now being my
ex?! :)

Kind regards,
BK G6

Are you a child? Real men hang out at HRO or the TRW Swap Meet, not
friggin' Radio Shack.

Good riddance.

Tandy ruined the once proud term "radio shack" by naming their chain of
stores selling
trinkets and low-quality consumer junk after the 70s. When RS was a real
electronics
store based in Boston they were great but that was in the 50s and 60s. Tandy
really ruined it.

Since then I have done most anything to avoid going in one. The clerks are
imbeciles.
The products, inferior. Anything you ask them for is met with a dumbfounded
look.
They'd be better suited to wearing vests and greeting customers with
"welcome to Radio Shack...
would you like to try a bloomin' onion or start out with an appetizer?"

Maybe the bruised term "radio shack" can now begin its healing process and
be used again
with a semblance of respect.

"Welcome to Radio Shack. Can I help you?"



"Yes, see that empty space over by that Verizon display?"



"Yeah?"



"Go stand there until my car has left the parking lot."

Didn't Radio Shack used to be called Allied Radio? I have an old 1955
Allied Radio catalog here, it is in Good condition.In Limeyland, Radio
Shack stores are called Tandy.

Also, in Limeyland, Gunsmoke (the old tv movies) is called Gun Law.

Down here it's the Santee Swap meet.
As to HRO... go there on any given Saturday and you'll find;
a bunch of gray thinning haired, pot bellied old geezers leaning on
pickup trucks bristling with antennas talking about cryptic topics in
braggadocio tones, and don't forget, the powdered sugar dust on their
tee shirts from eating all the freebie donuts over by the coffee pot.


I'm bald and lost my gut. I have a crossover SUV and have never wanted
to rag chew (neither face to face nor on the radio). I go to lurk look
at stuff that I end up buying HamCity dot com (on Sepulveda-but I get it
UPS one day ground. HamCity has good prices. I have never been to
their store front.

San Diego has a lot of electronics stuff.

We eat regular American food around here.I see quite a few foreign style
restaurants listed in my phone book.

Crechale's Restaurant on Highway 80, about two miles East behind doggy's
couch, is over fifty years old, the restaurant is famous for the best
steaks and seafood in the World.It is an old restaurant and doesn't look
like much on the outside, but the food is Great.They still have that old
neon Crechale's sign too.

Frank's World famous Biscuits Jackson,Mississippi

The other Best restaurant in Jackson is the Cherokee Inn restaurant
wayyyyyyyy up North on North State Street.I guess it is still there.I
heard somewhere they done remodeled that old restaurant.

Lets me plop my battery into my old van (I don't leave my battery in my
van because I don't believe in spreading my wealth, I bought that
battery last September when I bought my new old 1983 Dodge RV van.I am
the second owner of that van.The old guy I bought it from sure did take
real good care of that van) and git on over to the Lowe's store now.I
hopes the Lowe's store done put out some more flat washers of the size I
need.I needs about 35 for each one of the Ondura roofin panels I am
going to screw down onto the roof rafters of my trailer shed.

JT and Dave www.supertalkms.com just now said the new Chevrolet Volt
car should get 230 miles per gallon, in city traffic, it will cost about
$40,000 though.That's according to Government Motors.(General Motors) JT
and Dave also said the only reason the new Toyota Prius plant in Blue
Springs (near Tupelo) is not open now is because of a shortage of
batteries and they are made in Japan.

The Battery Shack.

Need batteries with that?

I haven't been to a Radio Shack store in years.
Just across Highway 80 from doggy's couch is Metrocenter Mall, there is
a Radio Shack store in that mall.About a mile and a half South of
doggy's couch is another Radio Shack store in that strip mall next door
to the Wal Mart store.(the GNC store is in that strip mall, that's where
I buy my Estrogen capsules) There are some more Radio Shack stores in
the Jackson area too.Lets me look em up in my phone book,,,,
I counted seven Radio Shack stores listed in my phone book.
