The Greater Oneonta Historical Society (GOHS) will be bringing back the old Bresee's department store Christmas figurines for everyone to see

#9...What else can I say except the Bresee's Christmas windows on Main Street!  Perhaps one of the most sentimental and warmest memories for Baby Boomers in our area.  This is our final Bresee's memory for this Holiday season.  Many thanks to my friend Marc Bresee for making these available to all of my many listeners...

Every person and business did their part during World War II to support the war effort. And that included Bresee's Oneonta Department Store. The store handed out helpful little booklets (photo above) that instructed their customers on behavior during the war years...

Listeners have shared a photo that originated with Kitty Gould Myers on Facebook.  Kitty's father was John Gould, a well-known local photographer.  Kitty's brother, Pete, owns and operates Morris Garage on Oneida Street in Oneonta. What a wonderful holiday photo this is...

After nearly seven years of construction, the dilapidated former Bresee's Department Store building on Main St., Oneonta, re-opened Tuesday as a commercial property.

The former Bresee's department store building has been under extensive renovations, and now the project moves inside for the winter.

I love this old 1955 photo of Downtown Oneonta!  Look at the old businesses, the old Bresees facade, the shoppers on the street, those big neon overhanging street lamps, and especially those great old cars!  I mean, you gotta love that great convertible in the forefront...
