Half a mile off the Interstate,
a Czech bakery is still
the place for local
conversation
about noninvasive
cancer treatment in central
Texas. But the excitement
at the new Czech Inn on I-35 is
all about the promise
of McDonald’s. Kolache
with poppy seed, the favorite, they
tell me, of the old folk, tastes faintly
like a memory of Prague.
