Oh I remember Globe. I shopped at that store and the one at Gulfgate. Whenever I came to town from college in the 60s I went there for records - you know, those round, black, plastic-thingies with a hole in the middle that had music on 'em? I’ve still got one I bought there ca. 1963 with the Globe price sticker. Globe made K Mart look classy - or wait, was it the other way around? Man that was a long time ago.
BTW to all - sorry about the link in the original post. When I put that up, it was to a version of the story that wasn’t behind a pay wall. If anybody can’t get past the paywall, there are other articles online about the new store.
But yes, the new owners are going to be watched very carefully when they tackle the Hillcroft store.
ETA: Sorry, don’t remember the drive-in.
