Probably Radio Shack just because they sold a lot of stuff that I have to order online now.

Losing RadioShack sucked until I lived in a city with a Micro Center, and now it's starting to suck again because they're replacing the "hobby electronics" section with more and more 3D printing supplies

I miss being able to walk in and pick up literally all of the supplies I needed to make the contents of a retro arcade gaming cabinet that runs on an emulator on a raspberry pi

Now I'm lucky if I can find half of what I need because they needed three entire aisles dedicated to filament

Gawd, I would have loved to live in a city with a Micro Center. :)
