Radio Shack, by the late 60s, had stores in Boston and Portland Maine. Tandy bought
them and a few years later bought Allied which was out of Chicago.

It's crazy how businesses merge and re-merge, and unmerge. The only
connection that Tandy had with Radio Shack was that both were for
hobbiests. (Entirely different hobbies).

Allied Radio is gone, but Allied Electronics remains today (their
commercial business).

Since I was on Wiki, I looked up Radio Shack.

It's a long article and quite interesting. As technology changed, so did
R.S. (This article is worth reading).

In that article it says that May 31, 2017 is the official closing date
for most stores (except private ones_.

That confirms it.
