Drove past that old bakery in Springfield and noticed the sign is finally gone
Stopped by Miller's Bakery last weekend on my route, the place that closed about 5 years ago. The building's been empty this whole time and I guess someone finally pulled down the faded wooden sign out front. Reminded me how they used to sell those crusty sourdough loaves for $3.50 that I'd grab on my lunch break. Anyone else have a local spot that just quietly disappeared?

Honestly, Miller's Bakery was exactly the kind of spot I was thinking of. They had those sourdough loaves that were perfect for sopping up soup or just eating plain with butter. I remember their rye bread too, it had that dense, chewy crust that you just don't find anymore. It's sad how these little local bakeries just fade away without anyone really noticing until the sign finally comes down.

Remember that last week they sold and the new owners gutted the place for a vape shop? Walked by yesterday and there's already a neon sign in the window. I bet the sourdough starter they used for fifty years is sitting in a dumpster somewhere while some teenager is selling watermelon mint clouds. Makes me want to start a batch of my own, but I know it would just turn out like a hockey puck.
