Virgin Megastore Times Square

So I found out today that they are closing the Virgin Megastore in Times Square.  It is truly the end of something.  The Virgin Megastore is like a fixture in Times Square, and I can not even imagine the area without it.  Tons of artists have launched CD's there.  It also makes one question if the end of the CD is near.  I am a sucker for package design, but will all those who exclusively design covers be out of a job in the near future due to digital music downloads?  It would be a terrible shame.  

Anyways, read the closing article here:  Virgin Megastore
