Do any other cities have such a collection? Surely a sociological
paper must be in the offing to explain why such a concentration of
geekishness? These outfits have an online presence, but actual
storefronts as well are still being maintained.
I guess there's two elements to the Radio Shack nostalgia. Parts,
yes (and apparently we still have those), but stores with actual radios....no.
best wishes,
Nick
