I think I can remember seeing the Helms Bakery truck in my neighborhood the 1960’s. Interesting post but now I’m craving bread and Mexican food.

I remember the Helms Bakery truck coming into our neighborhood when I was a little girl. My mother would let my sister and I get a cream puff to share. Yummy memories:) sharon’s last blog post..back to the track...again

@dc I’ll look into this issue; thanks for the heads up. After living for many years on the East Coast and Midwest, plus, my brother-in-law is in construction in Ohio, I’m aware of the problems with building in the winter. Sadly, climate does create its own issues.

@D. Travis North Definitely not fancy, but it did taste pretty good, especially for the $5.00 lunch. I totally understand what you’re talking about as far as the looks. It might not look the best, and I know looks are important, but where Mexican food is concerned, looks are only part of the equation………………..:)

@Mark Thanks, and you have a great weekend, too.

@Frank Thanks for the heads-up on the jazz. I’ll definitly put this on my to-do list. I love jazz………………..:) And yes, I do know someone in the baking biz. Who knew……………:)?

@Lisa Chaos Sorry about the food cravings. You’ll just have to come to LA and share an enchilada with me…………..:)

I never knew where the moon people got bread, or even that they had bread. What a great little piece of history! Shame on you for making me crave an enchilada!

Hi Lisa……. Are you aware that Helm’s Bakery is a great place to follow the jazz scene. It’s called the “Jazz Bakery” and there are performances several times a week.

Hey, do you know anyone in the baking biz? LOL

Keep up the good work…..

You know what cracks me up about Mexican food (at least americanized Mexican food)? You have to know and love Mexican food to appreciate photos of it. To a layman, that looks like a really sloppy dish and – frankly – I can imagine that it might not look appealing to someone. But as a huge fan myself, I can tell that’s probably pretty good eats – even though it’s not fancy.

I'm trying to leave this comment on "Architecture as Art", but for some reason I keep getting taken to the comments page for "Palm Trees, a Famous Bakery, and Mexican Food" instead. Odd. Anyhow -- what cool architecture! And because I am a winter partisan, I must say that you couldn't build anything like that if you have to keep snow-loads in mind -- sadly. Keep up the cool articles! dc’s last blog post..Blue is the color of winter
