Rooftop Billboard Now Up!
If you’re driving down Centre Ave, a peculiar billboard may have caught your eye recently. It is a lit marquee of hand-made letters that seem to float in the nighttime sky. We are hoping that this can serve as our "thought bubble" to broadcast the conversations and ideas that go on here at the Waffle Shop. If you haven't done so yet, come and see the billboard and have some waffles while you're at it! The changeable rooftop billboard is now up above the Waffle Shop at 124 S. Highland Ave.
