Baker Boy

Kennedy's Cakes and Donuts in Cambridge is an experience.  A wonderful experience.  First, they've got a Big Boy earning his keep as a Baker Boy out back.  Not out front where it might attract customers, but at the back of the parking lot so as you're driving up Southgate Parkway from I-70 you'll only notice it out of the corner of your eye then almost drive off the road as you look for a place to turn around and think of the run-on sentence you'll later use to describe the experience.  By the way, the brown disk leaning against the wall is Big Boy's hamburger.

Once inside your senses will overload.  Bread, cookies, cakes, muffins, pans, cooling racks, pie tins, home furnishings all are mixed together and apparently for sale.  One million milkshake flavors (WTF is that?  I don't remember seeing any milk shakes) may or may not be available.  When Kennedy's says "A Full Line BAKERY" they mean it and then some.

You don't want the imaginary milkshakes or any of that other stuff.  Concentrate.  Look at what's under the display cases that ring the back of the room.  What's that?  Fried pies?  Cherry fried pie, raspberry fried pie, apple fried pie, raisin fried pie, blackberry fried pie, apricot fried pie, cheese fried pie, blueberry fried pie and on and on and on.  Get the fried pie.  You won't regret it.

I like all your pictures of Ohio. Do you pass through there a lot or are these all from one trip?

Thanks everybody!

All the Ohio pictures are from a trip last fall. I'm being very slow in putting them up.
