I'd cry too and I haven't been to one in over 10 years.Newbury Comics. I think I would cry if they ever closed up.
What I miss more than any one particular brand is the whole concept of a small, independent "record store". You know the kind that used to sell vinyl...
Interesting to see all the odes to Ames/Bradlee's/Service Merchandise/Caldor and no love for Best.
Personally, I don't miss any of those places, even though there are plenty of memories in each of them. (e.g. my wedding bands are from Service Merchandise, bought on sale. About half of my 45s have price tags from one of those stores...
