I grew up in the near west burbs, and fondly remember going to the Ferrara Pan factory store on Harlem and Harrison in Forest Park with my parents. Haven't been in quite some time. Don't think my metabolism can handle all that sugar like it used to

Well, Hines Interests is swooping in on the former Oak Brook HQ of McD's and I bet they will turn it around. The best time to buy real estate is when times are down and everybody thinks that a place is a dump with no future (but it still has some good fundamentals working for it).
Hines plans to demo and redevelop into a mixed use campus. They will make tons of money, and it will be a great success. The city
and the burbs can win.
