Radio Shack the brand isn’t dead. Remember they filed ch.11 which is the reorganize bankruptcy.
EDIT: Of course, to me, they died when they went whole hog with cell phones and less being able to walk in there and pick up various ICs. So in that sense Radio Shack died long before their bankruptcy.
The one that was by me still kept a whole section in the back dedicated to electronics components and soldering kits until the bitter end. The rest of the store was crappy RC cars and cell phones, though.
They closed down before I decided that I want to learn to solder and do electronics stuff for fun. Shame, but when I do eventually jump into it, it's going to take more planning on my part so I have stuff on hand vs. just popping out to the store when I need something.
