1. I remember record stores

Local record stores were fun to browse for new and older albums when I was a teenager in the 60s.

When Tower Records went nationwide as well as overseas, I shopped for records there. Stationed in England, whenever I traveled to London I'd visit the Tower Records store in Piccadilly Circus. It was a multi-storied building but not very wide. It had just about any genre of music you were looking for.

The Tower Records store in Sacramento also carried a variety of non-music related books as well as records.

I miss Tower Records.
