Horrible Chain Store Promises First Good Location
Just about a two and a half months after the company’s sale and liquidation were announced, the Tower Records on South Street closed yesterday after seven years. Inquirer music critic Dan DeLuca writes about the factors in music store closings: MP3s, big chains like Target and Best Buy pricing new releases at $10, etc. Some small stores — a.k.a. music on Seconds Street — are still doing well, kind of serving up CDs and a “culture” that possibly makes you feel cool when you go inside. (DeLuca references High Fidelity, which sounds about right.) He also lets us know just what’s going in the old Tower Records location on Broad Street, which did some of the company’s best business.
A good f.y.e.? I’ll believe it when I see it. Digital era sounds death knell for some, not all, retailers [Inquirer] |

“A good f.y.e.? I’ll believe it when I see it.”
Awesome.
Butwhy does f.y.e. need to be good? It’s quantity over quality that matters! What else explains 3 f.y.e.’s in the King of Prussia Mall (although there may now only be two, I don’t know/care)?
The one on South Street was there for more than 7 years.
The fix was in when they fixed the “E” in the sign.
