I Miss Radio Shack
In the early days of my electronic exploits, I could always count on Radio Shack to provide an answer.
They had a coupler for everything. And a battery for anything you brought in.
There were cables dangling and flashlights of every shape and color.
Radio Shacks thrived before there were cell phones. If you needed a gadget they could help you with it.
During a power outage my young son and I were stranded, during a storm, downtown in a Radio Shack store.
It was Christmas Eve.
We got to use the remote controls for everything that moved. Robots we’re flashing in the dark.
Radio Shack had turned into a wonderland.
The world was a better place with a Radio Shack in the neighborhood.
I think of it especially during the holidays.
