Obsession in Pink - no, Beige

Your Boulevardier admits to an obsession with the former Carry Outee. Will it become a food place again? (Toula's Gyros was trumpeted, then vanished.) Or will the site -- a large, unsightly lot, currently with a makeshift chain-link fence -- be cleared for a new use? It's one of Castro Valley's enduring questions, perhaps second only to what will happen with the Gemignanis' unopened diner near Rudy's Donuts.

It doesn't answer the question, but one thing has happened to the Carry Outee: the formerly pink building has been painted a mellow dove grey. This happened earlier this week.
