Jenny Lee lives!
For me, one of the highlights of my rare trips downtown during business hours has often been a stop at the Jenny Lee Bakery in Market Square. The store closed indefinitely last year due to a massive fire at the bakery, and I feared that yet another local icon was gone for good.
Today in clinic, there was a loaf of Jenny Lee cinnamon bread on the break room table, brought in by one of the nurses whose relative works at the bakery. (Apparently, they’re selling them through word of mouth to announce that they’re back in business.) The P-G reports today that the Market Square store will soon reopen. I am a very happy person.
If you’ve never been before, drop on by the next time yinz are Dahntahn n’at. The staff are friendly, the product is excellent, and they could sure use the business.

Great news. The little things in life that turn us on……..
I grew up in McKees Rocks, home of Jenny Lee’s, and I also have a lot of that bakery in me. I used to go late at night in the side door to buy really fresh baked goods.
