Stores
of the Past
with
Daniel Packer
Sunday October 4th at 2PM
Do You Remember The Globe, Scranton Dry Goods, Pomeroys, Wanamakers, or Hess’s? How about Stroudsburg's own A.B. Wyckoff,
or the short-lived Oppenheim's
in Mount Pocono?
Author Daniel Packer shared with us the history behind the stores:
from founding to closing, and their response to a changing retail environment. And, Dan brought along memorabilia from
various stores for the group
to take a look at.
