If you grew up in Oneonta, NY then you and your parents shopped at stores that no longer exist for a variety of reasons. I thought it would be fun to ask our radio listeners to think back to times gone by and remember those stores. The following list is what people came up with. Do you remember any of these stores?

Ames (department store)

Bresee's (department store)
