[TriEmbed] this really is the end: Cary Crossroads Radioshack closing

[Jon Wolfe]

Thats sad.FWIW, the Radio Shack on Cary Parkway, I believe, is sticking around, at least for the time being. RS published a list of store closings and that was not on the list, and i went there last month, so I know it's still around. I'm certain it's inevitable that that one will go one day too, probably sooner than later.
I've found the Cary Parkway store to have pretty much the same parts selection as the crossroads one, though I never really interacted much with the staff.

    When I dropped by around 3pm they still had six of the cool parts
    cabinets left. I'm picking up a roll-around display thing in the
    morning that will hold some shelves and there are a few other
    display cases and piles of shelving. Little of interest left.
    There's a wall of odds and ends that's "$5 for all you can fit into
    a bag" and the rest of it is 80% off except for some items like wall
    warts for a few bucks per box.

    

    This final collapse some weeks back blind-sided store management.
    Rick wasn't ready to retire. If anybody on this list knows of an
    opportunity for one of the last, best RS guys, with decades of
    experience helping people solve their home electronics problems,
    please give him a call at the store (919 851 0332. I'll ask him for
    another number when I'm there. I know he's leaving at 1pm (a cohort
    I'd never seen before will be there at one and could no doubt pass a
    message).
