ladies

A wall of neatly coiffed ladies charges up to the counter to place their orders for baked goods on one of the last days before the holidays and one of the last days before Brown\’s Bakery in North Hollywood closes its doors forever. Some of the customers have been buying their cakes, cookies and bread here for as long as the bakery has been open, and that\’s 42 years. Some have been Brown\’s customers even longer, when it was Brown Brothers Bakery on Wilshire Boulevard; some for longer still, when Brown\’s was in the Bronx, during the war.
