I haven't had the pleasure of either Austin or Tampa in my travels, but I'll make note of those emporiums! You’re absolutely right Philip!

I really miss the old downtown Tower (I worked there, VERY briefly, 25 years ago), and several long-shuttered Village stores. And you're right about the Louisiana Music Factory in New Orleans - it's a real treasure trove of NOLA music. During Jazz Fest week, it's a great place for in-store performances, too. Another favorite, in the South, is Waterloo Records in Austin, although I haven't visited in years. Then there's my favorite local store - Vinyl Fever in Tampa. It'll be a sad day if/when these places disappear. Willard – Greatly enjoyed reading this update on the JRC, and it’s encouraging to hear that it’s still alive and (reasonably) well.
