Tower Records is open for just one more day, at least at the Watt & El Camino location.
I stopped in earlier and bought a handful of CDs for a grand total of $9.19, including works by Dada, Sia, Ringside, Red Flag (a serious flash in the pan ’80s synth-pop,not even a one hit wonder, group I once saw at Maxim, an 18-and-over “club” on Auburn & Garfield when I was 17), and “The Sounds of Kwanzaa” (it was $1, how could I pass it up?)
Of course, as I was quickly scanning what was left of their merchandise, a young girl was chatting on her cell phone next to me, complaining to whoever was on the other end of the phone, “This store sucks! They don’t have anything!”
If anything, Tower can provide you with an inexpensive option for your last minute shopping.
The sunrise branch is dead as a doornail.

Also, according to the Bee, the Broadway and El Camino locations are no longer to be occupied by FYE stores. They pulled out of the deal.
So, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a Dave & Busters and and a banjo emporium. Although, I’d settle for a fish and chips superstore and a square dancing academy.
