man do I miss Tower records and


Man Do I miss Tower records and most of all their Annex. I would have dinner and after take a walk to their annex where there were thousands of Lps and Cd cutouts, and just so much more for the eyes and ears. I would stay there for hours until closing around 11pm finding so much, and now it's just an empty store. Anyone in NYC know of a place that is open much later then usual or should I just realize that does days are now over.

Maybe if this guy in Indy didn't focus on just albums he would survive. Maybe sell pizza, have a few tanning beds, peddle some smut, maybe some used gear, that kinda thing. Just like in trucking, if you wanna own trucks you need more than one so if one is down others are generating revenue.
In fact I use to live in Indy and there was Howard's Hard To Find. He dealt in used vinyl back in the early 90's, I bet he has been long gone.
I was in The missing Link store a couple of years ago; not to purchase but to see what my lp collection was worth. Not much to the store owner so I auctioned them off on Agon. The store was located in a small house in Broadripple, the "hip" part of town.
The vinyl resurgence among young people was in full bloom; my daughter was part of it. But it was just a fad for my daughter who stuck with the ipod. which is not just a fad. For my kids the ipod is the way to listen to music as vinyl was to me at there age.
Things change.
