Bakery Appears Closer to Relocation
John Paterakis’ plans to relocate H&S Bakery seem to be coming closer to fruition, signaling that smells of freshly baked bread wafting over Fells Point may cease as the area is turned over to redevelopment. The company has purchased land in both Cecil and Anne Arundel counties and plans to build distribution centers there. Whether either of these locations would be a replacement for the current location is unclear. The area currently occupied by H&S Bakery, along Fleet and Aliceanna Streets, is one of the last remaining industrial sites in the area. It’s seen as a key link between Little Italy, Fells Point, and the new development in Harbor East. Whether the land will be developed is not the question, but how soon. Due to its location, the land has to be worth a fortune.

A bit of bad news associated with this story: The Whole Foods plans to build a larger market on another empty parcel in Harbor East seem to have been halted due to the company’s struggles in the current economy. Sounds like we’ll have to put up with the cramped and crowded aisles of the current store for a while longer.

“Sounds like we’ll have to put up with the cramped and crowded aisles of the current store for a while longer.” Heh. Golly, I had no idea that life was such a struggle in the Southeastern. It’s a wonder you all can get out of bed in the morning.
It’s amazing how quickly the area around H&S – in between downtown and fells has transformed. When I lived in Fell Point not too long ago walking from Broadway to President Street was pretty depressing. There was really nothing there. I remember the one homeless man that slept behind the big power box. Poor guy.
I haven’t been back to Whole Foods since I walked out with one bag of groceries for $68. I wish someone on this side of town could match their produce quality though.
