No longer a Virgin...

Not convinced that online music sales are impacting retail outlets? Well, try this on for size. As reported  by the Tribune this weekend, the Virgin Megastore on Michigan Avenue--which has offered massive discounts for the last several months to fight apparently dwindling sales--will close in July. (What's going into the space? Clothing store Forever 21.) Virgin's Chicago location is just one of seven outlets that the company has closed since last year, and, as you may recall, Tower Records shut its stores in December. Will you miss the Megastore? When was the last time you bought a CD in a store, rather than online? Do you think record stores will be totally gone within the next five years?
