The Final Days of Radio Shack

If you ask me, RadioShack should have closed two decades ago. Thankfully, the once-relevant electronics retailer is finally limping off into the sunset... after 94 years of doing business. Lately, it's been more like "giving (him) the business," as near-empty stores struggled to stay afloat, amidst a steady stream of terrible customer service and low inventory levels. All I can say is, "Good riddance," and I was a long-time customer.

Shame on... Plaza Artist Materials

Once upon a time, you could walk into any number of retail outlets and purchase a 24" x 36" poster frame (for about $10.) Well, retail isn't what it used to be, and neither is demand for the aforementioned frames. Hey, I get it: Poster frames probably aren't cool anymore (were they ever?) and supply & demand still runs the show.
