  • What a great trip and insight into my memory lane

I miss the people in charge that re... more

  • Love reliving that Tower experience

    I worked as a Merchandiser in the Movie Department at Tower Records Lincoln Center for 3 years, and was there when those bastard liquidators took it all from us. One of the best eras of my life. Fantastic stories, celebrity encounters, and most importantly, the most amazing co-workers anyone could ask for. Thanks for honoring the legacy of Tower, Bob! more
