Radio Shack in CNY and Beyond

Later store, possibly in Connecticut; courtesy Mike Mozart (of course)

 Radio Shack seems like another relic of a bygone era. They still had stores in recent memory, even if they were more or less Sprint stores before Sprint were absorbed by T-Mobile. In the UK, they operated under the parent name Tandy. Back here, they were in nearly every town. Realistic was one of their store brands. By the 2000s, the chain became obsolete unable to compete with big box and the internet (go figure). Unicomber in el Salvador now own the name, so you may be surprised that it's still alive and well. I even saw a store last year in the Southern Tier! Here's what I can gather from memory:
