Damn. While traveling I could always count on being able to get electronic parts and connectors there. If I needed a BNC to SMA or some other adapter they always had plenty of options. Missed having one located around here.

I don't know that I've ever seen that place, but it looks awesome! It sucks that it is closing.

Fry's has been dying for the better part of the last decade.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Agreed. Locations closest to MI were in Illinois and Indiana (1 each)... the majority were in CA and TX. I bought my first UHD TV online from the Downers Grove location 5-6 years ago, saved a bundle.

They all had themes - I only had the chance to visit one location whilst working in Northern Cali for a spell, but it was awesome. They had everything we needed (and alot we didn't, but bought anyway), priced right. You could lose track of time...
