There was a Tower right accross the street from University of Texas for 40 years. It closed down last year and there was a lot of hoop-la about it. Unfortunately, those that complained had not been inside the Tower for quite some time. They reminiced about the days when they held local bands' music (Austin is the Live-Music Capital of the world), and how you could listen to new music before buying it.
Unfortunately those days had long since passed. The only music they really offered in depth was rap and whiney alternative "rock". They no longer carried local music (Waterloo Records is all that's left), and they were far from friendly staff. Their staff could have been ripped out of High Fidelity, feeling superior to customers by their "expertise" in music.
All that was left was an overpriced store with a worse selection than Best Buy and dick for service.
