I remember one in Downtown Seattle about 20 years ago. Nothing special. just a
small shop with various electronics for consumers. phones, speakers, cameras.
random choice showing this is all and nothing. Lots of small shoppes around
that were more focused.

But I was there with a guy 10-15 years older than me who was amazed to see RS
again as he remembered it from last US visit decades earlier..

I could not understand as Best Buy had more to offer already and for parts and
homebrew projects Fry's was what I'm sure you remembered as RS at its peak
time.
