The Tower Tumbles

It's final--the company that bought Tower Records announced its plan to sell all of the Tower retail stores. That's the end of another institution, and one less source for lovers of classical music.

That's all right, I guess. It's easier for me to find what I want on the internet. I just have to wait a few days before I can listen to my purchase. That will work for my classical music interests, since I can usually count on the American Record Guide to announce and review most of the exciting classical releases. But for all of the other genres that interest me, I will be limited to what I can find on the shelves of the local Borders book store.
