who remembers Globe?
got my first 8 track for my '71 LTD from them for $19.99

I went into Globe once, when I was about 10.
It was the filthiest store I'd ever seen.
As I recall it had no AC, just fans

ETA: I went in there because a girl I was trying to promote, and did

This was in Minden. All the expensive toys were sold at Otasco, we couldn't afford to go there. We weren't "poor", my parents were just very disciplined at making a small paycheck go a long way.
What about Service Merchandise did BR have those?

Are we talking about the same store? Globe on Florida in BR.
It was two stores next door to each other: one a grocery and the other a dep't store, sort of scaled down K Mart
I may be misremembering the lack of AC, but not the dirtiness.

Someday I must make a pilgrimage to Greenville MS, Not only does it have a Pasquale's pizza (the last one?) but in a town of maybe 25K people it has not one but two Roses

Pretty sure it was a Howard Bros hardware store.

yes! TG&Y, Winn-Dixie and K&B, might as well have been Cortana Mall, and across the street, Mcdonalds (many Monticello birthday parties), A&P with their fresh ground coffee machines, and that Howard Bros with that distinctive high pitch noise at the front door/gate. yeah 83 not a good year along Comite.

I still have a couple of old spools of thread that belonged to my grandmother with TG&Y price tags on them.
I have a small bottle of Bacardi rum with the Eckerd price tag (2.19) on it from my Grandparent’s pantry
My Grabdma used it to make a cake IIRC

Service Merchandise was at Cortana Mall
There was a second one at College roughly where Walmart is now. I say “roughly” because that whole shopping center got redone when Walmart went in.
