These folks help glue this community together. They keep us bonded with their advice and help in working with our spaces. Living in lofts is a creative problem. What do you do without closets and storage? What is the best way to arrange my furniture? Where does everything go? How can I make that work? Paul has helped Bakery residents with their projects and artists in constructing ginormous custom frames  and neighbors with installing artwork and breaking down bed frames as well as securing indoor hammocks. He contributes firewood. He makes us all feel safe.

Kate comes to your place and naturally inspects that things are to code and are secure. She tells you directly what needs to go and if you need help, she is the one that gets it done. Her craftswomanship is precision. She makes the place cleaner and can be both your mom and your friend. She is great company especially with a bottle of wine. She did win this year’s Cake-Off with her yellow tiered cake and of course she dressed herself in a matching outfit. Kate kicks ass.

I am grateful to have these 12 star residents. Lionel Ritchie might sing,” They are once, twice, 4 stars three times a lady” and I love them!!  (okay, maybe I’ve also had a good amount of wine) But Why? Because they have been here a long time and they are what makes this place home.  They selflessly contribute to the operation of this building and community and it’s because they care so much that keeps me inspired to do a better job and to keep improving what we have here.

Thank you to all the residents that have chosen the Bakery Lofts in the past, the present, and the future. Cheers.

Today: 10am to 2pm
Sunday: 10am-2pm

Matt S. was one of the coolest guys on the planet. He was that organized, calm and collected, interesting, technical, crafty, and creative type that cared genuinely about others and listened carefully.

The beauty of the Bakery Loft’s courtyard stems deeply from the red japanese maples, hibiscus,chrysanthemums, salvia, and several other beautiful looking and smelling colorful flowers and cascading creeping time that Matt planted, watered, and maintained.

He always participated in the different activities and fun events we have here and was always one of the best at what ever we tried: he made a japanese mask jack-o-lantern at the pumpkin carving contest and it included a mop for hair and l.e.d. lights for spooky eyes. Recently, he made a delectable ginger carrot Killer Rabbit designed cake for our Special Occasions cake-off last month.

Matt was the kind of guy who finished things on time, including his cake and would walk around and ask others if they needed help and what he could do to help with things. He was a self-sufficient giver. He would find out what you needed and go get it right away.

Matt also had the best collection of Martial Arts, Anime, and Horror DVDs and he was so knowledgeable of both gory and beautiful things.

Many people remember his great fudge, I’m thinking about all the types of Christmas cookies he would bake, but he also made bread, gourmet dishes, and had such a good taste in things.

He doesn’t feel gone because his spirit is so strong in this community. Matt is truly missed and loved and will always be remembered.
