Neighborhood Update

Pander Castle has remedied the situation. Too bad I didn't get a picture.

Across the street, there is no love at Love Bagel, Love Bread. A court order on the door sends you on your way. We are speculating bankrupcy. Spending a lot of money remodeling and decorating then rarely opening your doors during business hours is not a recipe for success.

While searching for more information about the shuttering, I came across this article from 1999. Apparently my "new" bagel place is old. It used to be in a different part of our town. The owner is "an Australian aborigine with a background in neurosurgery."

The idea for the heart-shaped bagels supposedly came to him in a dream after he nearly died. Also, the shop didn't sell the average bagel variety. Each flavor was supposed to affect your mind/health. One for better concetration, one for losing weight (not sure how eating a bagel could ever work for that) and, of course, one to improve your sex life.

Sexy bagels from an aborigine in a working class town outside Boston. You can't make this stuff up.
