Wow, in street view that’s all vacant lots now. http://g.co/maps/37azf
Howdy Dave…Thanks! I think you’re possibly looking west though with your Google link. Perhaps we’re instead to look East towards Mt. Hood. That or Google maps makes us look West 1st.
I love Google maps.
I’m thinking that’s the actual bakery building?
Dbrunker’s right. All vacant lots now. I used to live nearby, and Google maps is looking east.
The Wonder Bread sign is actually the Wonder Bread Bakery. I worked there in the 60’s There tore it down a few years ago and now the block is home to New Seasons
I worked there from 1987 till 2000, I believe the bakery was turn of the century, still had the old horse stalls in basement. Log Cabin Bakery, as Wonder Bread took over in the thirties.
