To young for the Penn Traffic department store. However I do remember the last year and a half of Glosser Brothers as they closed early in 1989.
I do remember Gimbels and Horns having Christmas decoration but too young to remember if there were trains. They closed in the 1980s.
I was a fan of Kuafmanns then later Macy's. We would take the kids down for some Christmas shopping in the big city from early 2000s until they closed in 2015. Again I don't remember trains. However the restaurant was a decent place to eat and who didn't love their bakery that still wrapped cake boxes with string. Kids said I only went to ride the escalators.
I guess I'm just too young to appreciate the joy of large department stores and train displays at Christmas time.
My generation grew up on malls and now even the one in Johnstown is almost half vacant.
However surprisingly there are far more train shops still around then there are department stores. Go figure.
