Boston had a great Tower Records store back in the day, right next to Berklee College of Music. Spent a lot of time there. Good times.

Whatever happened to record stores?

Yes I know CDs replaced vinyl years ago. But there was a time when these record stores were still around but we’re selling mostly CDs after the decline of vinyl records.

Does everyone just download music off the internet nowadays?

You betcha...I spent a lot of time there during the early 2000's.What a selection they had!

Then I discovered CD-Rs and my local library network...which has thousands of CDs from the 60's (my decade).And now I have a music collection of about 5,000 songs all for the price of gas (to get to the library) and the cost of blank CDs.

I regularly go to the old, original Tower Records building for lunch, and across the stree to where the first separate building was, to buy records/CDs.

It’s “Dimple Records” now, and usually full.

Also, the original building has a theater attached where one can see good movies and have a beer...at MLB prices.
