Fortunately there are still a few good specialty stores, ethnic stores and
even Whole Foods that carry some decent items. We've become a Wonder Bread
society and think that is top of the line. I have to drive 30 mile one way
to get decent rye bread. While in the neighborhood, I'll get some good
meats at another store that still makes their own kielbasa and smoked meats.

When I lived in Philly, we had three good Italian bakeries in a short
distance for bread and rolls. I miss that sort of thing. Even if I didn't
move away I'd be out of luck as they've all since closed.
