The only Tower Records I ever frequented was the one at Kahala Mall in Hawaii. And then only to play video games while waiting for a movie to start at the multiplex next door.
There was a stor on NPR the other day blaming the demise on a combination of peer-to-peer and the death of the single. Apparently singles were the primary driver of getting kids in the store on a regular basis since they could afford those. When the labels mostly stopped selling singles the kids stopped coming.
