14th and Irving Street, NW
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”

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.”
5205 Wisconsin Ave, NW
Thanks to Rachel for sending: “this beautiful mural by Juan Pineda that went up in Friendship Heights this last weekend to celebrate the doggie daycare coming to the neighborhood soon!
