Tower Records, at long last, is no more. 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. Today was the last day of business at the iconic Village location in NYC; the Upper West Side branch closed yesterday. In the weeks leading up to this, cost-conscious music buffs have streamed into both locations to pick through thousands of marked-down CDs and DVDs.
R.I.P.

Good find, but if you are not into music or history, you would not know how important a milestone it is. Change has both a negative and positive effect, don't you think?
