Local. Langhbehn'S bakery

That was closed before I could remember trying there goods.it's edifice still stands as is a law office. I used to start my library route on that location .the other photos are on the flc route.the Edgewood area has gained one more art gallery.When I was reading the in town route I noticed it. I was planning to give an updated photo on a restoration.

I miss having local bakeries. Stop off after work to pick up some fresh-baked bread or the occasional dessert............stop in before work for something yummy to take for brunch. Now the only bakeries are found at grocery stores.....and they leave a lot to be desired.

We have lost a few.I think there might be one left.

There was a bakery in Peoria that was absolutely fabulous. Everything I tried was delicious and a bona fide treat. The owners decided to retire and sold the bakery. As with many such situations, the quality of the baked goods seem to go down. They also offered more and more gluten-free items, which is fine if someone is truly allergic to gluten.

The mfc route has one I think.
