This is not in you area, but FFR in LA across the street from one
wilshire, Lightsource1 has a small storefront. They stock GBICS, fiber,
copper, various Cisco bits (backed by a stockpile of larger stuff). There
is a phone number posted for the "It's 2am and I need $part right now"
times. Rumor has it they will soon have free coffee and wireless.
