<div>If Dumm's would carry a better wine selection and fresh baked or fresh delivered bread, I would go there several times a week!! Is there anyone from Dumm's listening to towntalk or their neighbors - I have asked them several times in person if they could carry fresh bread and vegetables and even though they seem open to suggestions, nothing has changed in the last 7 years we've been in Riverdale Park. Can we maybe attract a local bakery or coffee shop to open a location in our downtown?</div> <div> </div> <div>Andrew</div> <div><BR><BR><B><I>Nina Faye <ns_faye@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">What a great idea to carry better bread. I have been picking up day old Uptown Bakery bread at Schneiders in Silver Spring on the way home from Rockville, where I have to go once a week. The Uptown Bakery is actually in Hyattsville, but not open to
the public. Maybe Dumms could carry their bread, either fresh or day old. It is fantastic.
