speculate

Every morning , Mark walks past the small bakery on his street and notices the new decorations in the window . When the owner put up a poster last week , neighbours started to speculate about whether the bakery will begin selling sandwiches or change its opening hours . Mark often stops to talk with the owner and hears small details about new recipes , but nothing is decided yet . He likes to imagine how the changes could bring more customers , and he thinks the area will become a bit livelier . Until then , he checks the window each day to see if there are any signs of a final plan .
