Spoke applying for a liquor license

I noticed a recently dated sign on the Spoke front door saying "Spoke" is applying for a full liquor license. Does this mean they are reopening? Anyone know?

Spoke had a full liquor license. And magnificent cocktails. So maybe another place is moving in and they're going to keep the name "Spoke"? That seems... odd.

The entity applying for the license (a transfer, at today's Licensing Commission meeting) is "MKJD, LLC". According to the state corporation registry, the person connected with that entity is "Mary C. Kurth" of Jamaica Plain.

My only guess is that Mary Kurth is the mother-in-law of Ana Sortun, proprietor of Oleana, Sofra, and Sarma (per this Globe article). I don't know for sure that it's the same person, but it's a restaurant-industry connection, at least.

Nice detective work. You're right, Mary Kurth is Ana's mother-in-law. I'd love it if she was opening something in the square.
