There was lots of love at the corner of 40th and Bull streets this Valentine’s Day as the line wrapped around the block for the finale of Back in the Day Bakery. Folks began arriving around 8 a.m. with chairs and blankets to stake their place in line.
New friends were made among those waiting. People snapped pictures, made videos as co-owners and bakers Cheryl and Griff Day walked the line with tears in their eyes as they handed out hugs and swapped stories.
It was bittersweet for the Days and the customers, some of whom enjoyed their first cupcakes at that bakery case. Much of the decor, fixtures and ephemera will go on sale Saturday, Feb. 17, during a closing sale.
