Our local RadioShack doubled down on the maker components. I go buy things from them weekly just to show they have community support. I really hope they don’t close.
Nowadays, a lot of my project ideas die because I need some part, that I have to order and wait for shipping and by the time that happens, I've lost motivation or my mind has engaged another idea. It would be really nice to have a RadioShack or microcenter to at least pick up basic stuff, but ofc the former is basically dead and the latter has 0 presence the third largest US economy somehow.
