For more than 70 years—I am guessing—Brown’s Bakery in Midtown has fed hundreds of thousands with their diet-caving sweets in the Oklahoma City area.
Sadly, the legendary bakery's days are numbered:

The news rocked OKC social media harder than a bite into a stale loaf of bread, with people of all sorts morning the loss of their favorite carb confectionery. But not everyone was sad. Even closer to home, TLO publisher Patrick – an old Ingrid's regular – made news when he said the bakery was, for the most part, overrated.
FYI – Brown's Bakery was overrated.

As one who, regrettably, had never visited Brown's, I decided to stop by last weekend and see what all the literal fuss and/or anti-hype was about, and provide the indelible brand a proper yet calorically challenged send-off.
