[Noisebridge-discuss] Electronics supplies in SF?

[Mitch Altman]

Since I don't have a car (and don't want one), I've taken Caltrain to Belmont Station to get to Jameco.  You can bring a bicycle on Caltrain (or a non-motorized scooter, as I have), and it's only 15 minutes from the station to Jameco.
 
Mitch.
