[HCRA] Where can I get ...?

[Stephen Dill]

Some of you out there has probably noticed that Radio Shack is scaling back
on their parts section so they can fill their shelves with other things
(iPods, cell phones, etc).  I remember when half the store was parts,
pieces, and components.  Now, it's just about scaled back to 1 small rack.
I used to be able to just walk into a Radio Shack and buy almost everything
I would need to build "X".  Now, I consider myself lucky just to find a fuse
holder.

Where do I go now?

I know there is "You-Do-It" out in Newton.  I don't want to blow a tank of
gas when sometimes, I just need $10 worth of parts.

Most everything else I can order online.  I don't want to order something
and then wait a couple days to a week for it to arrive.

I know that there are some things that I can only get by ordering out.  For
everything else that I used to go to Radio Shack for, is there any place
local that I can go?
