[ARC5] Deathwatch for Radio Shack?

[Edward Greeley]

Oh, David, David, David. You just don't understand. See, the 
disappearance of Radio Shack, AKA over-priced Chinese junk, will open up 
lots of store fronts for more purveyors of over-priced, trendy "coffee",
AKA Starbucks. You might notice that the key word in that appelation is 
BUCKS. Wonder what ever happened to the 5 cent cup of really good coffee 
I used to but at drug store "lunch counters" back in ca. 1947...
