Tower Records

VANISHED


Painting by Sharon Florin

I feel a bit of ambivalence memorializing a chain store here, but Tower was sort of special. Quotes Wikipedia: "The store in Greenwich Village was famous in the 1980s for selling albums of European New Wave bands not yet popular in the U.S. and was a noted hangout for teenagers from throughout the metropolitan area."

Now Racked reports the 4th Street site will become a Toys R Us.
