Now that I think about it, the term "bakery" refers more to a cake and cookie shop nowadays.  What about a place to buy specialty breads, less expensive than the grocery stores?

Franz Bakery on 1211 Main Street in the Billings Heights is such a place.  A quaint little shop just south of Steffanich Drive by the Conoco station, Franz in Heights and West End provides delicious breads and bagels to stores throughout the area.  I really dig their potato and sourdough breads.

I drove by there and noticed a new look.  The property owner upgraded the outer appearance with rich brown siding and a brand new glass door.  The entrance had been shored up with a sheet of plywood for weeks after a shopper failed to brake the car.  An employee there reminded me that a couple years ago another motorist drove their car right into the building.

To complement the earthy tone, a fresh new window painting hails the warmer weather.  Time to go outside and play!

Reminisce is Here

Have you been hearing about Reminisce Angus Ranch products on the radio, with their jerky and meat sticks?  Here's a news flash: there are at the Franz Bakery in the Heights.  I just picked up their Beef Snack Sticks at Franz and they have a warm, meaty flavor; of course you can rachet up the heat with pepper or jalapeno.

So stop on by where the nice ladies always say "Welcome."
