Empty Virgin Records store
Originally uploaded by singthiscorrosion

I went to Virgin Records when they were down to 90% over the weekend and had only assorted beat-up books, a CD or video game here and there, and a few hundred tshirts that only had one of two things on them - Zac Efron or the logo for the Virgin Orlando store. heh. The majority of the store was completely blocked off and emptied.

I went on the 80% day and they had whole racks of High School Musical 3 DVDs and Hannah Montana the Movie CDs. I wasn't really finding anything and the constant clanging as they were taking down the racks drove me out of there.

Teh sadness. I loved going into that store, it was like stepping out of reality for a little while. It was also the first 'normal' feeling place I went to after being in the downtown ghost town right after 9-11.

also I saw Mindless Self Indulgence play there in like, '98. =)

I saw All American Rejects there! I totally forgot about that. One of the employees was super sweet and gave me a pass to get in even though I didn't buy anything. And met Tim Burton and Tori Amos, but on separate days. heh. :D

The view from this pic is around where the VJs stood when they were doing the Vh1 Top 20 countdowns there on the occasional weekend a few years back. Sooo weird to think it's gone! It's such a staple.
