I used to go to Best Buy weekly to look for new movies and games, but since they eliminated movies and scaled back games, I've been doing all that shopping on Amazon instead... I guess it shows who wants my money and who doesn't.
Best Buy is going to end up being just another "Hey, remember ~~Fry's~~? ~~Circuit City~~? ~~CompUSA~~? ~~Good Guys~~? ~~Tower~~? ~~Computer City~~?"
Tower Records was my cult. I miss that place the most.
We had one in Minneapolis at the Mall of America when it opened. It had a great selection but I was still partial to Cheapo, Northern Lights, and Positively 4th St. Cheapo is still around and I stop in there a few times a year. The other 2 closed down a long time ago -- possibly before MOA opened in the early 90's I think,
Went to the one in LA on a trip recently. Was awesome to see that much great music on one spot again.
It's wild that we probably won't see a return to those types of stores ever again. COVID really put the final nail in the coffin.
