I used to love shopping there. Before iTunes, it was state-of-the-art because it was the only place you could listen to music before you bought it.
I also loved the eclectic folks who worked there, from the real old lady who wore hot pants year round, to the flaming gay guy who provided the best customer service.
Anyway, Colin Hanks, Tom's son, who was raised in Sacramento, remembers it too and has made a tribute documentary that premiered at SXSW recently.
This article about the movie is from Rolling Stones.
