[kj] (OT) Record stores in Manhattan

   Yes truly. Here in Los Angeles we have a giant A-MOE-ba** that, after an extended gestation period, eventually swallowed up entire 'Wherehouses,' a real, live 'Rhino,' several 'Towers' throughout the land, and even some poor guy named "Aron", whose record shop it also engulfed [alas, he was an indie too]. 
   "The Man" offered the daunting creature two! Virgin Megawhores , one from *ahem* West Hollywood - which it promptly devoured, and a second one offered up on Hollywood Bl. - as  sacrificial fodder.  We hope it eats that one up too. Soon.
 
  The music retail industry refers to this creature, the Amoeba, and its 2 other mutations as "creeping death," but we call it our friend. 
 
Will there be at least a furnace in the 
basement of hell when it freexes over?

Both Virgin stores are slated to close next year. But you shouldn't spend your money there.

I know I'll be branded a heretic, but I've always enjoyed a stroll through the Virgin Megastores when I'm in NYC.
 
I haven't been for a while, though, and I can't quite figure out if they're still open or not, after Branson unloaded them on Vornado.
 
The Intawebs seem to indicate that they are either closed, in the process of closing or will close in Q1 of '09.
 
Just looking for things to do during the day while I'm in town for the KJ shows.
 
And don't worry, I've already got Other Music, Kim's, Generation etc. on my list.
 
Can anyone give me the down-low on Virgin's current status in Manhattan?
 
 
AR not in N.Y.C.
