    One of my favorite buildings to walk/bike/drive past, the Sara Lee/Superior roasting plant on Elston will be closing this April.

    What a shame. It's a key landmark on my Coffee-Salt-Bread-Chocolate* bike ride downtown.

    I live in the area, and me and my wife both love the smell of the fresh roasted coffee that occasionally wafts throughout the neighborhood. We'll miss it. :cry:
