Yeah, I’ve been sitting on taking a pic of the Gautemala Bakery for you. Thing is I keep getting home too late. Damn you winter!

There are hundreds of thousands of Salvadorans in the DC area, so it’s not surprising that there is campaigning going on in DC. But what I’m not sure of is if a Salvadoran citizen living in Washington can vote in the embassy or consolate(s) here. I remember a few years ago there was an election in Peru in which expatriates in the DC area could vote. It was set up on a Sunday in the school where I used to work, with thousands turning out to vote. Who knew? BTW, the FMLN is the old guerrilla group gone legit and participating in the democratic process.

I think it’s wild that a Salvadoran presidential candidate would have a campaign sign up in DC — how cool!

Yes, Carvel/Cinnabon closed awhile ago. They had problems, and as you may recall tried to broaden their appeal by adding homemade breakfast items, and they bought Mayorga’s old coffee making supplies. I’m one of the few people who miss Carvel, as I had worked in a Carvel as a teenager, and was an expert at making cones and cakes. For frozen custard, at least we still have Rita’s!

I think there was a rumor (and if I am not mistaken even you, PoP reported on it) that there would be a news stand in the ex-Carvel space.
