.... saddened by the disappearance of record/cd stores?
Tower looks like it's going down, Borders and B&N are shrinking music
Mainstream chains going down.. good riddance.
There weren't any when I was a kid and Tower folding is like the Walmart
of records closing up AFAIAC.
I've always lived pretty near really good, large Towers. I'm now 3
hours from the best ones, IMO. They are FAR from the Walmart of
Records: deep catalogue, hard to find stuff, etc. especially at the
Classical Annex of the Sunset Blvd. store.
... I see record stores returning to local independent
roots.
If that happens, great. I'll hope for deep inventories.
Everytime I drop by Lous records in Encinitas I can barely
find a place to park.
Tell me about that place; maybe I'll go tomorrow. Do they have LPs?
Very few, I recall one little rack last time I was there.
Do
they have a lot of classical?
Define a lot? they have some but probably not a lot.
There used to be a Tower in San Marcos...big store
with lots of music racks with just a few cds per rack.
It was weird..all that space and no stock.
Ever been to Gary's Record Paradise in Escondido?
Its a dump with the largest thrift shop grade vinyl
collection I've ever seen.
I bet you'd love it
