The China Sky restaurant sign has been taken down, and The Local one is on the way at 11 Forest St., in Wellesley.
The Local is a popular gastro pub in Newton, where patrons can order drinks without ordering food, like you need to do in Wellesley. The Local’s Wellesley owners are expanding into Wayland and Wellesley this year (the Wayland site seems to be moving along a tad faster, but work on the Wellesley location is cranking up).
We regret not having a dramatic sign tearing down video for you like we did when the Grossman’s sign went down a few years back, but we can at least show you the before and after photos.
I wasn’t daring enough to go dumpster diving to see if the China Sky sign was in here…
