I finally had a chance to sew up a mask for my friend Amanda Daly, who opened up a new business in the middle of a pandemic, and has been working herself to the bone to make it a success, bringing all of us in Oak Park fabulous bagels — and always with a smile on her face.
You can’t see the smile when she’s wearing her mask, but you can always see it in her eyes. This was supposed to be a Christmas present, but it can be a Valentine’s present instead. Oak Park loves The Daly Bagel, after all!
