In terms of this post and Radioshack Central Square Cambridge…Radio Shack many of you most likely believe the shop has actually been opted for years after all the business declared bankruptcy in 2015 and closed most company-owned shops a few years later the key word there is company-owned shops dealership stores that were owned by independent business owners stayed open among them happened to be within a half and an hour drive at my area new holland pennsylvania amish country here’s some shots of the beyond the radio shack what i actually enjoyed is how the building kind of looked like a real shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks precisely as i remember pretty much any type of electronic or accessory can think about this shop probably has the first wall consisted of a bunch of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and chargers as some of you most likely keep in mind to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas including the infamous antenna i tell people not to buy but they buy it anyway for those of you who are not aware of what i consider this model here is a short clip this model it’s junk scrap
