Agree. There’s places to get a limited number and variety of quality baked goods–e.g. Duck’s, Pastries A Go Go, Sawicki’s, but nothing of the scope of Alon’s. I’ve always thought an Alon’s clone or satellite would do great in Decatur. But maybe not–anyone remember Metro Market? I loved it but evidently not enough other folks did. And Indie’s used Alon’s for its pastries but it couldn’t make a go of it.

We all seem to long for Alon’s, Trader Joe’s, and Metro Fresh, but would we really shop there enough and spend enough? Our run-of-the-mill CVS seems to be what survives when other neat stores come and go.

Please do not let any of the above businesses read this post because I’m still desperately hoping they will come to Decatur.

Diner sounds OK but Decatur really needs a quality bakery — lets go broader than bagels (which I also love). I’m tired of driving to Alon’s!

I totally agree that we need a bagel place.

Maybe they were building a treehouse on the roof………
