Thanks to T. for sending: “Saw workers peeling back white window coverings to reveal the sign on my morning commute. I’m almost thinking it’s a leftover from wawa days, but they didn’t have “coming soon” signs when they were open”
Wawa closed here back in June 2022.
Think Wawa could really be coming back or just an old sign?
Update from another reader:
“I live in that building. I believe that sign is from before the walls went up behind that window and before the outside of the windows were covered up, so an old sign.”
3201 Mt. Pleasant Street, NW
A liquor license placard has been applied for Casamigo Bar & Grill at 3201 Mt. Pleasant Street, NW:

Not clear if La Bahia is simply changing their name or not but stay tuned.
