Goodbye, Tower Records

[TheStranger]

Here's something that ties "supermarket history" with Tower Records pretty neatly:

2500 16th Street, in the Tower District (at Broadway and Land Park Drive) of Sacramento, spent many years as a Tower Records unit after it moved out from the old drugstore/Tower Theater location a few blocks away.

THAT...

according to the Sacramento section of this website, had been a Safeway until 1955.

And that ex-Safeway/Tower Records will be a record store once more:

This is sad: the Sunset Strip Tower Records is about to be torn down:

I guess there's nothing LA needs more than another "three-story, 52,000-square-foot combination office building, retail shop and health club"...
