Tower Records has finally shut its doors. "The 46-year-old music retailer was sold to Los Angeles-based liquidator Great American Group for $134.3 million after a federal bankruptcy judge approved the sale in October." Tower.com is still up and running. At the store, they still had a few good things left over, including Sarah Silverman's Jesus is Magic.

I bought some great music over the years at the Tower down by NYU, including my fave U2 disc, Achtung Baby. And once, while I walking on the UES with a bright yellow Tower bag, comic Richard Lewis stopped me and asked where they had moved their store to (this was in '96 when they had moved up around 72nd & B'way temporarily due to construction). Thanks for the music and memories, Tower, I'll miss ya.
This is a Double Whammy for the Upper West Side as the Blockbluster on Amsterdam/69th closed last week. It's slim pickings for DVD/Video Rental options in the Lincoln Center Area...
Tower Records in Japan is still up and running, however, CDs here are terribly expensive ($25 and up).
There is still a Fliks Video store on 72nd between Columbus and Amsterdam. They even deliver to your home!
