I mean, there's still HSC. http://www.halted.com/ http://www.halted.com/ It's not even that far from Weird Stuff, and unless you work at Yahoo probably a bit easier to get to (being right along central expressway). Growing up in the valley, HSC was my hacker shop and where my love of analog electronics flourished. If anything, the loss of Weird Stuff (which I am sad about) implies that garage days aren't about soldering resistors to a breadboard anymore. Hardware hackers are few and far between these days.
