Your bread just took a plane to the face, hon!
Listen— I'ma say this once: I ain't never thought I'd see the day our good ol' H&S Bakery bread would be involved in an air traffic incident. But that's exactly what happened over in Newark, New Jersey. A tractor-trailer full of that iconic Baltimore rye and white bread was heading to the airport, probably to ship out some deliciousness, when a United Airlines plane *landing* hit it! Dummy, I'm talkin' a whole airplane wheel smashing into the truck. The driver only got minor injuries, thank goodness, but just imagine explaining that to your boss. "Yeah, boss, a plane hit me."
**Why This Is So Baltimore**
Now, I know this happened in New Jersey, but you *know* this hits different for us. H&S Bakery isn't just bread; it's a staple, a piece of our history. You see that logo, you think of rowhouse kitchens, crab feasts, and every corner store from Hampden to Cherry Hill. It's the bread that built our sandwiches and gave us French toast on Sunday mornings. For one of their trucks to get sideswiped by a plane, it just feels… wild. It’s like a piece of Baltimore getting caught up in some big city craziness.
* This wasn't just any bread truck; it was an H&S truck, a Baltimore institution since 1943. * The truck was likely delivering to serve folks far and wide, showing our reach. * It's a bizarre reminder that even the most mundane parts of our city life can find themselves in extraordinary situations.
That's Baltimore, hon — we don't break, we just bend loud. And sometimes, our bread trucks get hit by planes. It just shows you how far our local flavor travels, and sometimes, the drama follows it.
