Does anyone knows if the old Nottingham Corner Store at Nottingham Rd.& Croom Rd. is opening back up or the owners contact info.? Several people are inquiring, it used to be called, Galicia Licor Restaurant and before that, County Style Latin Foods.

There is a new sign called, M Mama Cole’s Cafe – 12300 Croom Rd. and there was a restaurant in D.C. with the same name but the owner passed away.Evangeline “Mama Cole” Cole-Thompson was a beloved Washington D.C. soul food chef and owner of the popular Cole’s Cafe in Anacostia, known for her made-from-scratch cooking and community support. Before her death in 2011, she was celebrated as a “soul food queen” in D.C., often recognized for her famous banana pudding.
