Record stores are dead

Been in a record store lately? I remember going to the mall just to visit Musicland and pickup an album or cassette. With iTunes, Target, WalMart and Costco is there any reason for the record store to exist? I don’t remember the last time I bought anything at a Sam Goody. Their prices are usually $3-$5 more than the same CD at Target. I walked by a couple of record stores last week and they were ghost towns.
