What a Great video I've been watching this for years! Is this nice gentleman still alive? Thanks for the post. Bill from NJ.

[coastsj]

Thanks so much for the nice comment. I believe he and his are still baking. I shot the video back in 2007.

To Bill from NJ - I was just at the Italian Bakery March 11, 2010 and was talking with Mike. He is very much alive and full of life! I took 6 loaves of bread home for myself & neighbors!

Nice! Mickey Padora! Best bread in Tamaqua. Also a good place to get a quart of beer for home.

[coastsj]

Glad you enjoyed, Thank you for passing along his name. I've always meant to look it up.

[tjchinaski]

My Pleasure. I love Tamaqua.  Very unique in culture, people and name.

[jabbalinalove]

i wish this wasnt in black and white. nice touch but that bakery looks so authentic with color.

[coastsj]

I was using an old analog video recorder the color quality was poor in low light, so I opted for B&W plus I like the timeless quality of B&W.

[lugsdeep]

Best damn Italian bread I've ever had, sure do miss it.

[Aquamojo]

Born and raised in Tamaqua. Great video. Brings me back home for a short while.
