    Really breaks my heart that we can’t preserve long standing businesses in various communities.

    This brought tears to my eyes. I make special trips there for my mom and I. She just passed two months ago so to see our favorite bakery go after all these years is heartbreaking. I don't know if I will ever find a German Chocolate cake like theirs. I am going to miss A Taste of Denmark.

    I work for Matt and Nat Bakery in Signal Hill Ca and I love working here. I couldn’t imagine my bakery closing down. Heart breaking to hear this.

    Yep, blame the pandemic - it may have been the final nail in the coffin, but don't think the cost of doing business in a dysfunctional, corrupt and crime-ridden city didn't have something to with it as well.

      It's always the same excuse. Blame the pandemic. That shit is long over and 90% was all fear mongering.
      The insane high rate of crime is forcing many businesses to shut down and leave for good.

    What a loss to that community!!! I wish they rally and helped that business stay afloat. 93 years is such a long time to be open, just to close due to covid. I bet they would have eventually recovered. So sad!!!

    Why be sad? The people of the community didn't support them enough when it counted. And the city doesn't want to do much to protect local businesses. Broken windows every few weeks.

      Good point and well said mostly the people supporting the business where not locals and the local community hardly went by. It seems like a ghost town with homeless tents everywhere.

    Replacing the broken windows is costly but who will break their windows. Who is so cheap to break and steal pastries and cakes. Hopefully they relocate to à better location.

    I’m sure it was more of a broken window thing than the pandemic. We watch these news clips everyday and see these cities turn to chaos. Stay tuned and watch as all these businesses board up and leave as our civilization heads down the downward death spiral....

    How is it closing for good? What part of the closing is good?

    • @alpyki2588
      @alpyki2588 Рік тому +1

      "Closing for good" is an expression meaning "closing with no intention of reopening." It does not mean that the closing itself is a good thing or a bad thing. Its a rather strange English expression.
      For instance, you could say this bakery is closing for good. You can also say that a concentration camp is closing for good. One of these is a sad event (I imagine the locals will miss the bakery). The camp on the other hand, I don't think anyone would miss. But the phrase "closing for good" can apply to both.

    Why was it called a taste of Denmark ? Not one product on those shelves looked authentically from Denmark, especially the bread, it was just factory white bread.
    Was it because they thought of Danishes ? The don't even come from Denmark...
