Unfortunately, many of the older residents would prefer empty storefronts over anything...

I hope your prayers are answered.
Our thoughts are with you.
I’ve been wondering what was going in under the Astroboy plywood… questions answered. Thanks PoP.
this actually sounds awesome.
Wale as in… “DC chillin/PG chillin/ My name Wale and I came to get it”??
Heh, that’s exactly what I thought!
“Serving … to local residents.” Are non-locals prohibited from eating there? Kind of a strange way to phrase the permit application.
I think they meant local to include the United States and other countries.
Perhaps it’s going to be modeled after the “local shop for local people” from the League of Gentlemen.

Finally, some movement on this place. I walk by this place every day. I welcome the addition of a new business on this block. I’ll be interested to see/hear more of this concept.
Is it really “Wale” – not “Whale?”
I think it might be wale, as in the thickness of corduroy stripes are called the wale. Like, wide wale corduroy.
I thought the owner of Courdoroy next door was going to make it a restaurant called Velour?
Yeah, a wale is a corduroy-line. Baby Wale is probably thin-lined corduroy. I’m so glad they went with that instead of Velour!
i will say this – baby wale is tasty!
