Well, that was fast.
Radio Shack went bankrupt a few weeks ago, and closed a bunch of stores, including this one in Taylor. I snapped this camera phone picture at 3 AM yesterday, as I was stopping by the adjacent WalMart for cold medication.
Radio Shacks were always neat places to explore, but it became a niche retailer, and the niches now belong to the internet.
Some Shacks are still around, but I can't say I have much hope. The success rate for troubled businesses like this isn't spectacular.
