In Reply to: Tower Records Store Closing Sale in Chicago posted by Deacon Blues on October 16, 2006 at 12:12:10:
I go way back with the original Rose Records on Wabash. It was part of growing up on the South Side of Chicago and the store opened my eyes to a wider world through music. I cannot imagine that young people today will get as much out of internet downloads as I did browsing the bins there. The same slow die off in quality music stores has occurred where I live now, in Madison, WI. When I first moved here 20+ years ago, there were 5-6 pretty good record stores downtown just off the UW campus - all but one are gone and now the survivor devotes about half its floor space to videos. Fellows, I am affraid we may be dinosaurs.
