Main street

This all comes from my own personal memory, but might be demonstrable:

Entenmann's had a bakery, their main one, on Main Street in Bay Shore, Long Island. Main Street is part of Penataquit Highway, originally an Amerindian trail running almost the entire length of Long Island. It was less than half a block west of Shore Lane. They baked bread there, letting it rise on a moving metal conveyor belt, which ran zigzag up (or down) the wall on both sides of the main room. They also made big, thick cookies, which were rather expensive, five cents, in the early 1950s, but which they often gave away free to kids. The local elementary school, "4th Avenue Elementary School," often took its pupils to visit the bakery. The founder had two sons who attended local public schools, one becoming a lawyer, and the other, an accountant, who elevated the business to outstanding success. Though they had earlier used butter and perishables, such as fruit, for which their goods were much prized, they eliminated them later, perhaps gradually, in favor of margarine, chocolate, coffee, vanilla and almond extracts. Only much later, perhaps in the 21st century, when the purported health risks of butter proved unfounded (or trivial), did they re-introduce real butter, making countless cows feel much appreciated.

Rewrite

The article is poorly written (a middle school essay first came to mind). The entire entry needs a rewrite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LoudFlatulence (talk • contribs) 02:22, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
