Will the Westboro bakery stay in Westboro?
We Westborians are all a-tizzy about the fate of our dear little bakery. And with just cause. We need fresh bread and sandwiches!
It's early yet, but there's a potential deal in the works between Westboro Bakery and the owners of the Baker Street Cafe on Richmond Road. Nothing is final, but this might mean the bakery will end up with a space inside Baker Street. (Which, by the way, serves a fantastic breakfast between 7:oo - 3 p.m. Run, don't walk, and order their two egg breakfast. Or a cinnamon roll. They are made fresh daily.)
Despite some of the obvious overlap (the bakery and the restaurant both serve coffee and sandwiches) I hope something can be worked out.
The bakery's new location on Hinton is a go. Anyone have more details about it?

- Read the report to PEC as submitted by Nancy Schepers, Deputy City Manager. Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of the page. The summary of the comment sheets from the March open house might be of interest to some because they reflect many of our concerns... especially as it relates to green space and cut-through traffic.

What do you think about the CDP for Westboro?
