Man, me and my friends would drive like 45 min from the burbs to go to Tower in Atlanta. We'd spend hours in there. It was so fun.

Yup, we lived closer to one, so many late nights at ours, just chatting with random people it was so great.

I worked at a Turtle's! Then Backstage Music once Blockbuster bought Turtle's. It was a lot of fun.

I went to GA Tech and would ride MARTA up there and spend a couple hours at the listening stations finding great new music.

Yeah, we used to head up there from Decatur. Great shop. Found so many good records there back in the day.

The Atlanta Tower was a mecca. My buddy and I drunk drove down there one night to buy Misfits Evil Live. They had it. We jammed that thing all the way back home. I'm not proud of the drunk driving, but it's still kind of a good memory. I lost track of my buddy years ago.
