There are plans for a Portillos to go in right by this location so it has that going for it.
LOT of room at DEN for greenfield development. Kind of a no brainer for UA.
Say it ain’t so Joe! Another corporation fleeing the city and state? I’m stunned! The spherically challenged buffoon in Springfield has been duped. Again!!!!!! But wait, in four years he can bring Illinois politics to DC just like Obama did because the public is too stupid and ignorant to see through his BS!!!! “Hope and Change #2”
