Did yall have a Media Play? In Kennesaw we had a Media Play. It was a big box record store but you could pull any CD off the shelf and listen to it in your own private cubicle-like thing before buying. I had a friend that would get high then go there and just loiter for hours listening to different CD's.


We had Sound Warehouse with a station of like 20 CD players and listening stations. This was mid 90's. As I recall some Mom and Pops eventually started to allow limited sampling of CD's right before the Napster wave crashed.

Never showed up for any midnight releases at any stores but did so for plenty of movies in theaters. Fun times.

The wait and anticipation used to be a part of the experience


And the social interaction of commerce is gone. I knew folks at small shops for years....the bookstore, music, store, shoe shop, electronics store etc....
