no more virgins

today was the last day at virgin megastore. i had a feeling last september, but didn't think it would really happen.

everything was 90% off, though there really wasn't much to pick out for. during the past few weeks. i picked up what may be the last set of cds that will buy. everything from 30% off to 70% off. lee ann womack -- crazy; once soundtrack; i'm not there sound track; allison krauss/robert plant -- raising sand; amaia montero; snow patrol -- final straw. i wish i knew more music to pick up.

virgin used to be close at midnight and provided a logical stop between icp and home. aircon in the summer time, a bit of heating in the winter time.

there were so many other options only a few years ago. i could drop by half a dozen different places to listen to a complete cd. besides the two virgins there was barnes and nobles, the wiz, tower records. i would even be able to sit aorund in magazine shops til past midnight reading. the only things to do past 10pm now is going to a bar or a club.

so much for the city that never seeps.

oh, i also bought half a dozen cameras.

I know what you mean. Headed to the B&N on 5th and 45 (I believe)
and the cafe took the magazines I was reading while sipping a latte. They told me that I need to purchase it. Hell.. I'm not standing in that crowded area by the mags to read, especially not in the summer.
