Classical Debacle Chicago Sun-Times, October 7, 2007.  When Tower and Virgin Records closed up shop in the last year, I lost a community that had nourished my curiosities about music.  For a city its size, I'm disheartened at how slim the pickins are here in Chicago. I see J & R in NYC is still around, which is where I bought my first stack of classical discs; why can't Chicago support one too?  Thanks to knowledgeable, slightly nerdy, always obsessed retail clerks, many people's exploration into music began with their influence.  I salute the few and brave souls that remain, notably Chris Miller of Chicago Digital.  No matter how cool and convenient the iTune can be, online browsing rather sucks.
