 I grew up in the late '70s and early '80s when Radio Shack was more
 about electronics hobbies. I had a "Battery of the Month" club,
 remember the excitement of being 11 or 12 and having a free carbon-zinc
 D cell or 9v battery to make things with.   :)

Over the years, the wall of electronic components gave way to cheap
electronic crap, and later to cell phones and accessories before they
closed.
