    The Globe used to be magical at Christmas time. As a child I loved the display windows and the toy department would have a whole floor with Santa. It is sad the kids of today won't be able to experience that.

    My dad would take us every year to see the Christmas decorations and we always went past the globe store and the Scranton dry goods. The window displays were fabulous

    Thank you so much for sharing this video.....It took me back to when I was a young lad and allowed me to reminisce on days that were filled with good manors, proper decorum, and kinder and easier times....

    I remember The Globe. I was only 11 years old when it closed but remember visiting it several times. I still have the top hat and dress coat that I got there when I was young. I always sensed a difference between it and stores like Boscov's, and this segment really illuminates it. I grew up at the tail end of a declining age where taste, style, and community mattered. It's sad to see how things are today and how soulless they are. Thanks for sharing.

    It was a better time and a MUCH better shopping experience. It's a world that's gone and we are poorer for it.

    The sales personnel were well dressed and so were the customers

    There was a saying to express gratitude or to express little faith that someone was able to make an achievement;
    “I’ll kiss your a$$ in the Globe Store window.”

    This was a wonderful profile of the Globe department store. Unfortunately, the department store has gone the way of the dinosaur. A way of life never to return.
