4. Yeah. The Tower Records in Cherry Creek-Denver was a landmark--open 365 days/year

It was the go-to spot later on Christmas Day or Thanksgiving when both staff and shoppers were clearly looking for a "break" from family, visitors, and probably some overly alcohol-imbibed relatives. The employees were so fun and they always played music I like. But, given this was central Denver, you'd come across the most interesting people from everywhere so that was reflected in all the genres of music tucked away in the armchair and listening stations around this really big store. Boy, do I miss it.

The youngsters will never know what they missed.
