[ale] Where have all the computer store gone

[Chuck Payne]

/please read with tune Peter, Paul and Mary in mind

So being here in Atlanta since 93, one thing I use to enjoy was going to
computer stores, like

Delta Computer near Osais
The many Chinese/Korean Computer Shops along Jimmy Carter Blvd.
There was that odd shop in Alpharetta that sold computer stuff that was
from trucks that were damaged.
Tiger Direct up in Jefferson ( Now Amazon warehouse )

Where are all the computer stores, has Amazon really killed mom/pop
computer store?

I know Vision is still around on Jimmy Carter. I know Best Buy and
Microcenter are still around, but gone are Compusa, Computer City, and
Fry's.

I use to make it a day going to all the different places to see what was
new, grabbing a computer shopper to take home later.

It's just really sad to know that once was a cool way for an introvert to
get out, gone. Online isn't the same, God knows I might seen so many of you
back then not knowing it.

Anyway, with this whole covid-19, I feel very much like a prisoner, was
thinking of place I could escape to know seeing there no really a lot of
cool computer places around, hell there are on good swap meet eithers.

Anyway, does anyone have a good computer store to go too?
