Plus, Radio Shack carried a lot of hobbyist type things such as circuits, switches and various electrical connectors. Also, unique eletronics (ie things like a disco ball, traffic light lamp etc) that you'd now jump to Amazon for. As a kid, the coolest was the selection of RC cars they had.
Now, just over priced electronics you can get everywhere else and only hope of shopping there is finding something on clearance and or a price error.
