a agree with Mike...
here in Boston, the downtown location shifted to a Virgin megastore, which started out ok, with a pretty good (if very steeply priced) import section, but at least it survives...tho the venerable Newbury Comics store a block down Newbury Street HAS to siphon sales away.....
The Tower store that was there was a pretty darn good one....found stuff there over the years I'd not have found anywhere.....now it just leaves one in Harvard Square which kinda sucks, and one Burlington, MA, which is no prize, but still nice to pop into when you're in the neighborhood.....
The HMV store that was in Harvard Square was awesome when it was around...again, imports were high priced, but sometimes it's nice to hold that cd in your hand before you dropped that $24.00 for the Jason Falkner Airmail Japanese cd!!!!!!!
