This is one of the most famous and delicious places to stop, going up and down IH-35 between San Antonio and Dallas-Fort Worth. The savory kolaches are delicious – and we stopped there for some, heading up to Fort Worth for a book event late last month. West is just a little hiccup of a town, and the loss of so many volunteer firefighters is bound to hit hard. But the Czech Bakery is OK – according to this story, just a few cieling tiles knocked loose. Sometime after Mother’s Day, Blondie and I are going to head up to Waco to see the Texas Ranger Museum … and then a little way farther up the road to buy a big box of kolaches at the Little Czech Bakery.
