New Restaurant?

I see more and more renovation taking place on the restaurant at the La Quinta Inn in California, MD. They've redone the outside and painted it white. Also, there's the outline/frame for a new sign on the roof. Does anyone know what's going into that building?

Don't know how well known this is but the place had a real big problem with mice. So I wonder if the landlord did more then put lipstick on that pig.

Seriously, what would work there is a diner. The inn seems to do a decent business. I spend a lot of time in hotels and most places don't have restaurants. You have to get directions and drive someplace when all you want is a decent meal and to relax - not drive.
Breakfast and dinner and maybe a late night snack.

Not a restaurant, it's the start of the tollbooth's for the bridges that are going to lead to Ocean City.

I agree, a diner would work very well in that location. I wonder what they have planned.

I'm probably over-thinking this whole thing but it has me curious about what could possibly be going into that location, especially since there seems to have been no publicity or news up to this point. The shape of the frame for the new sign seems familiar. Two companies that have signs with shapes similar to the new frame are Silver Diner and T.G.I. Friday's...

A diner would be great! BUT what really need is a mega second-hand/liquor/banking/fast food/funeral home/flea market where you can get your nails done! 'Cause we don't enough of them!!!
