There were 4 bookstores in my town and two record stores. Now there are none.

Thats like my town but not for long.

Places here sell records and other audio for thst matter. Vinyl is the audio of choice around me currently. They are mainly second hand stores. Lots of Djs in this area.

Vinyl is coming back. I see turntables being sold in the stores again.

Who is "they"? We still have the same bookstores around, that we had 40 years ago.

Book stores have gone away in predominantley white towns in the USA mostly because of Amazon.

Paperback Booksmith, Lauriats, Borders and even some college bookstores are gone. All my students get their texts from Amazon so the college closed the bookstore. I think it is their own fault because they really ripped off the students.

Republicans have banned and burned most books. They're becoming rare.

Well if they are coming back would it not be the republicans? Socialists and communists burn books. China rose because of companies like Apple and Sharks like Mark Cuban. doesn't that make those people communist supporters? Its Jeff Bezos that actually made book stores more obsolete.

No one took them. The people didn't support them, and they couldn't stay in business.

It because of Amazon and the Kindle. You could now buy them online. Amazon was first the Kindle and then began selling only books online. It put brick and mortar book stores out of business.

Yes they did, unfortunately.
