The news of Calhoun's Bakery closing down hit UBC hard and social media has been abuzz with folks sharing their memories of the old bakery. Here's a selection of our favourites, including some of our own from way back when:
My thesis was written there. I learned to write/read Arabic there. @CalhounsBakery was a true hub of learning :( https://t.co/JDoSApAktk
