Progress at Porto's Bakery

Porto's Bakery

The last time I walked past the Porto's Bakery construction site (see my January 11th post), the foundation was barely there. Now the building has two stories, with walls and stairs and windows. These lights at the end of the work day reminded me of the Motel 6 ad, "We'll leave the lights on for you."

  3. No, not open yet. The outside isn't finished yet, so it doesn't look like it will be open too soon. It's located on Firestone near the corner of Downey Ave. If you click the location link at the end of the post, you'll see it on the map.

  6. Tropicana is no competition to Portos. I live in Downey and would rather drive to Glendale than walk less than half a mile to Tropicana. Can't wait for Portos to open.
