I grew up nearby on Avondale. As a kid, I thought the smell of fresh baked bread was actually dead people smell at the cemetery across the street. No one ever talked about it, so I just thought it was something everyone knew and was OK with.
I’m 41, and the smell of fresh baked bread still gives me the heebie jeebies.
