2008_7_8.yesthatsreallythelogodude.jpgNew plans were announced today for the "pedway" that will connect the Block 37 mall to the Red and Blue Line Washington stops: Block 37 will be home to the area's only Beard Papa's (video)! Best! Beard Papa's is a Japanese chain of cream puff bakeries that has outposts all over the world; if you like vanilla-y pastries, you are going to plotz.

According to the site's developers, the walkway will also include an Au Bon Pain, a Dairy Queen/Orange Julius, a Freshii, and a Gateway News. But the big deal here is Beard Papa's. Bring on the cream puffs. Nom nom nom. [Crain's]
