Record Stores

Record stores are shutting down everywhere with the exception of a few independent record stores in major cities, and people are turning to online formats to get their music. What is your favorite thing about record stores? Is it the instore appearences? The atmosphere? The fact that you would rather own a copy of a CD than a digital file? What makes record stores your favorite place to buy music? I myself prefer certain songs on CD or Vinyl, I like the atmosphere and the people who work at record stores, and I like the posters and CD's I can find only there. What are your thoughts? I really like record shops like the Electric Fetus or Cheapo.
