  Apparently the Capitola store in the Capitola mall is slated, didn't notice the Santa Cruz store listed, (could have zipped right past it though)
  No biggie for me has I haven't been in a RS in many years.

i bought an FM antenna sinal enhancer there a couple years ago......yes, i still listen to FM radio. Other than that, it seems they have alot of stuff you'd buy elsewhere for cheaper, online. I guess EVERYTHING will be like this soon.......except for buying food.

Ccrane has the best radio accessories etc in one place that I know of.

I can't remember the last time I saw a radio in a radio shack. I bought my handheld scanner there Well over ten years ago. Seems like it has been since then. It's all phones and cables now.

I walked into one the other day.  They didn't have anything like the stock they used to in the way of electronic supplies, and the two associates never said a word to me, even though I was the only other person in the store.  Good riddance, although I remember fondly when they used to have a good stock of parts.

I remember as a kid in the 70's I used to get a free battery once a month cause I had a RadioShack card.
It ain't what it used to be!
Maybe that's why their closing.

If you went to a radio shack like the one we have in town I can understand them closing. Sad but true we go in there, and no one knows much of anything.
