What was once a popular place for late night gossip and sugar highs is now a parking lot. Bell Bakery, which used to have lines of college students outside the building waiting for fresh donuts after midnight, has been demolished. The bakery was owned for 23 years by Bob and Joyce LaGodney. Several owners later, Ed Baise, pharmacist and owner of the Medicine Centre, bought the shop which has been turned into a parking lot for his business which is located next door.
