Always gotta be on who tries to ruin the fun...

Which Radio Shack? Original, Tandy or Intertan?

That alone would date you

Radio Shack sued Radio Shack to stop using their name
I *thought* you were referring to original Radio Shack (1921) but then you responded they were re-branded as Source so you are referring to the second Radio Shack (1986)?

Radio Shack (1921) attempted to re-enter the market (2005) but has fully closed all stores now
Radio Shack (1986) always had a sub brand to differentiate (first Radio Shack by Circuit City later Radio Shack by Bell) and today all are owned by Bell and named The Source

Avenue road club was the greatest pick up joint ever. I would watch the Maple Leaf Saturday night hockey games while having a few brews and drive there by 11pm, order a triple gin and tonic and get a girl to dance and usually took her home.
I was not the greatest looking guy but I had learned to dance. Being well hung helped, LOL. Unfortunately I met my future wife there.
