Photo of the Week
Mouth watering time!! I did not know about the La Boca Bakery until I came across this photo today. I seems like they had a full operation there to support the community of La Boca. There were lots of people live there in 1948 and had a clubhouse, schools, etc. Just like the bakery at Mt. Hope and all the individual Canal Zone Clubhouses, the Panama Canal's Supply Division was a very large food producer. La Boca was a Silver town and supported it's own population. The lady is carrying a tray of empanadas which resemble the typical West Indian style. I could down one of those right now! In addition, on the racks to the left are the famous "Sticky Bunn" that was sold in all the clubhouses. What a monster cinnamon bun and one of my favorites. I haven't found one to match to this day. Lots of bread and pastries fill up the rest of the bakery racks. What a wonderful trip down memory lane. Long live our Canal Zone history.
