The Phoenix Arises from the Dead or should I say Radio Shack?

29 Aug 2019

Is this really 2019? Did I step into the "Time Tunnel"? Did I just have a bad dream? The answers are YES, NO, NO. This is a shot I took today coming home from my shoulder rehab. No stupid toys, Batteries, Car Batteries, etc. Components, Arduino stuff from Addafruit. AT&T cellphones, TV's and lots of cables.

The store is located just off North Rufe Snow Rd and Windmere blvd in North Tarrant County, (Fort Worth) Near Alliance Airport.

Places like Radio Shack and Egghead really helped me get traction as a hobbyist when I was a youngster eons ago. I just wonder in this day of Amazon, eBay, Ali Express, etc whether they can survive without having their own unique products. A few years ago I used to buy electronics at Frys almost every week but recently I rarely go there since it is a 20 minute drive and I can usually find what I need on Amazon if I'm willing to wait a day or two...

At any rate, I wish them good luck on their resurrection.
