Now that's a place I wouldn't leave! Really wish that existed... but something free and easier already does. I should have just posted this first but it slipped my mind. http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/L...

Radio shack has always been one of those stores I walk into looking for parts and come out realizing I'm only getting it online and I have to wait a week. What they should do is repurpose the stores to become what they always should have been, a hacker haven. Fill it with knowledgeable people who know how to make custom electronics, and foster people who want to build things but don't know how. Problem is... its just too late. Would be cool to see someone like sparkfun or something buy them and do something like that.
