When I was last in Skagway, back in 2011, I asked about where one would get late night food in that town. The answer was......Radio Shack. No kidding. On my last day there, I visited that store and they were right. You could get all manner of stuff at Radio Shack. It was not all that different from some of those "convenience stores" in Maine, where you can walk in and buy a case of beer, a couple of fifths of whiskey, a semi-automatic rifle, and 2,000 rounds of .223 ammo, all in one visit.
