The familiar Erie phrase, "l'll meet you under the clock" was used when friends would meet downtown. A large bronze clock is centrally located on the Boston Store's ground floor. Whenever people met downtown, it was always under the Boston Store clock.

The tradition of friends meeting under the clock is once again revived with the total renovation and opening of the new restaurant on the ground floor of the Boston Store, appropriately named, "Under the Clock".

The original bronze clock was refurbished and proudly hangs in the center of the hallway leading to the new restaurant.

. . . "Let's meet Under the Clock!"


The Boston Store was Erie's premier department store and its favorite place to shop. Shoppers were attracted to its quality merchandise, excellent service, and many special features.

The Boston Store has a long and much-celebrated history in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania.

The Boston Store fell victim to hard economic times and increased competition from the national department stores that opened in the new Millcreek Mall and finally closed its doors in June of 1979.

Perhaps no other feature is as well-remembered as the tradition of the Boston Store clock.
