Anyone know a way to find stores in other areas with this kind of spirit? Weird Stuff in Sunnyvale used to feel a bit like this to me.

It's not exactly the same, but for folks in the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) area of NC, there is The Scrap Exchange[1].

Ax-Man Surplus in MN. https://www.ax-man.com/
I visited that place a couple of months ago, it was fantastic.
Halted was similar, but they're also gone :/
Oh, damn, I didn't realize they were gone. I used to like shopping there, but they started to seem less fun as time went on, and the last couple of times I went it seemed to have lost those positive/creative vibes.
This was always my go to, and a large source for movie-making:

I was there last week (in town on business), and I found a Vector 3677-2 protoboard for $2!
Axman Surplus in MSP
The Reuseum in Garden City, ID

Bookmarking this, I can't believe I didn't know about this place when I lived there (although that was long enough ago they might not have been open).
Electronic Parts Outlet in Houston, TX
Jameco in Belmont, CA jameco.com
This is my Bay Area resource for electronic parts in a pinch.
I hate how few responses there are to this.
