That sucks bro. Our little shop closed down about 20 years ago. Same with our vinyl store. It's a shame.

@SleepingWithGhosts Aah. It always sucks when a small or family owned businesses go down. There's a Barnes & Noble further down the street but it just ain't the same.

@caPnAhab Same here. Way more expensive too! I just order shit online now, unless I find a cool shop out of town.

I love places like this. Probably can't make it with bigger stores taking over.

@EldritchFox Yeah, walking into that place was like walking into the book shop from Neverending Story. Shelves of eccentric dusty books and it smells like old paper.

There's no other book store near by aside from Barnes & Noble further down the road.
😞 Beautiful book shop! So sad it closed its doors. These places are rare as it is; but this one was particularly elaborate! Looks like the owners took a lot of pride in it, and treasured the written word.

Books; movies and music are the three things people are going to regret losing from the high street and I want to scream 😱 at those who allowed that to happen.

All you've done is enable the likes of Spotify; Netflix and Amazon and Google to belittle and destroy the value of creativity while getting rich at the same time. By rationing the things the rest of us have loved and prevented anyone else from discovering.

You've replaced it with muzak and junk streaming and you won't even recognise how dumb and sad that is.
You've condemned your children to being 'entitled consumers' in the future.

R.i.P the creators.

@Picklebobble2 very well said. Things are starting to get dystopian.

I think the big tech guys will take you one further and rather sell you an Ai created product.

@caPnAhab We used to say politics was the battle for hearts and minds.

Then it was the 'battle for likes and subscibes'.

Coming soon ?

'The battle for those entitled vs those who aren't'.
