the Nashville Tower was built right around the time I was a high school freshman, and was right at the midpoint between my house and my school, directly across from the Vandy campus on West End.
it was an oasis, particularly at my age. I could just pop in and get the latest Maximum Rock-N-Roll, fuckin-A. I was already an habitué of the nearby Great Escape (used music, comics) so all my cultural interests were fully covered within a quarter-mile radius. so many memories. I gave the “Punks over 30” issue of MMR to a friend on her 30th b-day a few years back, still got a lot of books and zines from there.
@Woodchuck45 you used the term “oasis” as I was typing my reply–kismet!
