Just last Friday (May 3), news broke of the iconic Thambi Magazine Store in Holland Village shutting down, which until yesterday had been running for 80 years. Unfortunately, another long-standing old-school store will be facing the same fate.

CD shop Tang Nan Ah, located in Chinatown, is set to bid farewell to its local community this month, Shin Min Daily News reported.

"The industry is gradually declining. I plan to close down and retire next Saturday," second-generation owner Guo told the local Chinese publication.His children have no intention to take over the business as they are pursuing careers of their own. Before the days of Spotify and Apple Music, brick-and-mortar record stores were the go-to location for music.

Nowadays, the bulk of his customers are regulars in their 40s or 50s who still prefer physical media as opposed to its digital counterpart.
