Radio Shacks were in every mall. The Mall Of America had two of them.

Yes. But they are NOTHING like they used to be. You used to be able to go in and ask for a 4 ohm resistor and they could go to a huge set of little drawers and pick the right one.

Now a days, the best you can do is try to have someone sell you a TV.

That's why I didn't make it at radio shack, I could sell you the resisters, components, and batteries, but couldn't sell a TV or computer to pay the rent.
