Has since changed its name to "The Shack", because they want people believe that the shop has more than just transistors and fuses. Whoever thought of this idea clearly is looking for a bailout. Sounds exactly like the kind of place I'd avoid, if I didn't know they were formerly Radioshack. They'd stand a better chance of improving their bottom line if they served oysters and pina colada's and had a straw thatch roof with a Florida Keys theme.

Can't remember the last time I was there, but it couldn't have been for much more than a cell phone battery or data cable. If you're into building ham radios or a space shuttle, it might be worth a look, but the selection of computer parts and computers is minimal, at best. Then again, anyone with a clue would go to MicroCenter in Cambridge, which is well stocked with DIY parts and a fine selection of computers and audio/video equipment.

Most everything in the place is overpriced and in many cases of cheap quality, and what selection of radios, televisions, cells phones, computers and audio equipment they have is minimal at best. This place is for those folks who are intimidated by true tech stores or don't have a Best Buy nearby.

The service and technical knowledge of the staff is horrendous. Most of the time, unless you actually bring in the part your looking for, you're on your own, trying to find the item through a maze of improperly place items. Whoever designed the layout, was clearly devoid of any sense of how to showcase items.

You can name it whatever you want, but it's still Radioshack, and that ain't good.
