(it has been renovated in keeping with its historical appearance, but repurposed as a pharmaceutical research building). and yes, the smell of candies in that area can be very welcoming. back in the 80s, i used to bike past the NECCO building daily, and i remember the smell of NECCO wafers wafting out of the building! altough NECCO moved to a larger facility in some suburb a few years ago, tootsie rolls and some type of pepperment candy are still made a block away (as biking in heels mentione), and i am welcomed by those smells as i bike to work!<br /><br />filigree, the bakery smell you are smelling might be coming from la rogna bakery on somerville @ spring street, down the hill from where i live. it is a very non-descript industrial building and they are a commercial bakery serving a lot of local businesses. i bike past them on my ride to work, and i often smell that wonderful yeast-y smell of baking bread!somervillainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903377050982678550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-62409886857766776162009-12-03T16:52:47.739-05:002009-12-03T16:52:47.739-05:00Oh I love that smell of chocolate and candy on Mas...Oh I love that smell of chocolate and candy on Mass Ave! There is also an area in Somerville that smells so strongly of freshly baked bread that i can hardly stand it. So mysterious, because there is nothing that looks like a bakery or baked goods factory nearby. I always get sad when I pass the Squirrel Nut building.Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-61136743362576553092009-12-03T16:11:42.793-05:002009-12-03T16:11:42.793-05:00If I'm lucky, someone will be burning wood in ...If I'm lucky, someone will be burning wood in their garden or farm and the smell of it will reach me on my bike in just the right quantity and quality. A little weird for a non-smoker to enjoy perhaps but it's a really earthy, outdoorsy smell that I love.Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573306677879847970noreply@blogger.com
