Subject: Wine (not Whine), specifically Champagne Author: Robert J. Cubitto '68 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:26:53 11/04/02 Mon I will be in Globe Thanksgiving week-end (for the first time since the Class of '68 reunion) for my godmother's 90th birthday. I would like to bring some champage to celebrate the event, but not all the way from New York. When I was last in Globe, there was a good wine store in the old shopping center at the intersection of US 60 and the road to Roosevelt Dam. Is it still there? If not, any recommendations? And while I'm asking (although this will make it appear that all I care for is alcohol), what are the best bars in Globe these days? And to sober up, is there a Starbucks or somewhere else to get a double espresso in Globe? Karl, you are the best to keep the Tiger Den up and running!

Broad St.

Good people. I don't remember the Java Junction -- was it there four years ago? Of course I remember where the old Pioneer Hotel was -- I think -- right across the street from the bakery, right? And does the Globe Theater still have a balcony? Ah, almost feels like I'm back already. Too bad they don't have the Globe-Miami game on Turkey Day any more. Bob

They moved it to the bottom of the old Pioneer soon after. The Globe theater still has the balcony but they closed it to watchers. Its funny but Sonic has come back to town after a 25 year hiatus and Dell Taco is going in where Burgerking use to be. Marks Tavern, Pinky's and the Apache land Bars have closed .....But you still have The Huddle, Under the Palms and Two Lanes!

The Java Junction was a great breakfast stop -- STRONG espresso and good bagels. It's nice to see an old space put to new uses. The Beverage House still has a great wine and champagne selection and the friendliest staff around.
