I know a huge record store in downtown Chicago just recently closed, because they were not getting enough sales.
Only if you read the media. The media (mainly the New York Times, Chicago Times and News Limited) all have shares in Apple, and consequently, iTunes. So they're going to tell you the CD stores are going out of business, when in fact, they aren't to get more money and get the shares up in pricing). I applaud Steve Jobs and Apple for their effort to reduce piracy, but still, at the prices they're asking, people will still download illegally - and not introducing their services in other places like Australia for movies, video rentals etc.
But CD sales are declining by 1000% a year at least, and unfortunately, some places just can't compete when they're doing business for more than what the online services offer.

It's not a bad shot. Not one of the best Vertigo shots, but still decent enough and uses the same recording from the bootlegs here (though not an MP3 rip).
