Glosser Brothers: Latest Things

     Glosser Brothers was the talk of the town. I always hear the elderly citizens talking about memories of the department store that stood on Franklin Street from 1906 to the early 1990s. It sold clothing, food, and the latest records and 8-tracks. Newsboys would stand on the corner of the store's street and perform their calls for the nearby Tribune Democrat. The brothers expanded the line of stores around the city decades later, and yet this store was their most popular. Folks raved about the sight of the elaborate animatronic Christmas decorations the store would display at the end of the year.








The building is now occupied by Press Bistro, a fine dining establishment that serves burgers, wraps, and craft beers. The air is filled with a variety of local artists playing their music and the chatter of friends talking about the day over a brew. Rather than animatronics, the employees illustrate the windows during holidays and special occassions, adding color to the middle of the city.
