[hrmjustin]

BAY SHORE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) – A famed bakery has left Long Island after nearly a century.

Newsday reports Saturday that the era of locally made Entenmann’s cakes and cookies ended with the closure of its Bay Shore plant on Aug. 13.

A spokesman told the publication the Bay Shore facility, which opened in 1961, was closed because “it can no longer effectively compete in the market.”

1. That's too bad. I remember visiting New York and eating Entenmann's goodies.

3. Yeah it is a big loss here.

6. It's still available from other production plants.

2. I like some of their stuff, but it's too darn pricey for us flyover folks.

I can only afford to buy it when the store does the bogo sales. If it's expensive out here, I'd hate to see their coast prices.

[hrmjustin]

4. Yeah the store prices are too high now.

5. Bimbo Bakeries has an outlet store near my home. We shop there on most Fridays.

In addition to Entenmann's they carry milk, orange juice and yummy soup mixes. Originally it was just a Freihofer's outlet.

7. Is it overcast like here today?

8. It looked like rain at any moment all day. It finally got up to 74°.

9. Odd for August. Used no AC all summer.

10. It's been getting into the upper 90s and over 100 for the past 10 years.

Last time I remember a summer this cool was 20 years ago.

11. I guess the water keeps us cooler.

14. I'm adding plastic shrink wrap inside most of my windows late next month.

The Farmer's Almanac predicts heaver snowfall by January 2015.

I also plan to wrap the Weigela and the Elderberry bushes in burlap to protect 'em from snowplows. The kio pond will have a heater this winter.

15. No more snow please! we had enough last time.

12. Just took mine out of the window.

Never turned it on this summer. In fact, I think I used the fan only a few nights.
Strangest summer I can remember.
No hurricanes in the Atlantic coming our way either.

13. I hope it holds.

16. It's not that they couldn't compete. They got Romney-ized. n/t

[hrmjustin]

17. Yes!

18. Noooooooooooooo
