There was one in the town I grew up in, and I used to go and just browse for hours. I’d sometimes buy a few cheap little bits and bobs so I didn’t piss off the clerk.

Believe it or not, I used to go to RadioShack to check out the latest cell phone technology when phones were just starting to catch on. I distinctly remember marveling over this super super thin bar-style phone and being completely amazed they made it so thin. It was one of those candybar phones with a 1 inch dot matrix screen (and an extendable antenna, of course). And it was silver, which I remember thinking was awesome. They were still selling Motorola StarTacs, to give you a sense of the time, and I thought “wow, tech is going to get awesome if they can make something like this.”
