Even in small towns in Germany, the neighborhood bakery is being replaced by in-store bakeries for Aldi, Lidl, etc. The variety, quality and freshness is still better than that in the generic US sense, but it has changed over the last 20 years. Much like many major cities mostly seem the same these days because all the chains and brands are there. I miss travel and a good Bretzen.
