End of an Era!
Monz informs the world of today's lunch: corned beef and swiss on wholegrain bread, apple. He also decrees that the editors' promissed beauty secret be delayed so as to allow the music editor (ME) space for the following reflection...and poll!
And now a quiz in the form of a poll. See the "...." in the ME's melancholy story? That represents what may have happened before he left the store. Our quiz provides a fun way for our readers to guess what happened, as well as provide some input as to what the Monz would say had he been there (though Monz sightings in Tower are historically very rare. No wonder they're going out of business!

Yesterday I got stuck downtown after work, and didn't start heading to the "el" station until 7pm. Across the street I saw the sign on the Tower Records window: "Only 8 Days Left!" In other words, 8 days until the store, and all other Tower Records establishments, close forever. Having speant so much time (and money) at Tower, I felt obliged to stop in. They had turned off the air conditioners/heaters/any sort of ventilation and stopped running the escalator. The well picked over remains of dvds and cds were being picked over again by a rag-tag assortment of music hipsters and bargain seekers. "All CD's 70% off lowest marked price, all magazines a dime, make us an offer on fixtures, if you come back tomorrow it might be gone!" I went up and down the ailes, most of them bare, and up the escalators until I reached the third floor hoping to find some quirky spoken word thing but none was to be had....exiting the stuffy/humid/warm store and heading to the el stop, I didn't look back.
