that's a pretty drastic remodeling job, flattening the whole building! I heard that they will build a new drive thru set further back

Yup, Taco Bell is starting from scratch, building a newer model store for the Ogden location, to look like the New Taco Bells that have been built elsewhere, such as the one on La Grange Rd. in Countryside.

They aren't really all that busy during the daytime, but after 10PM their drive through is packed, especially on the weekends. All the drunks and stoners interested in a "Fourth Meal", go figure.



As for the old McDonald's site, McDonald's corporate owns the land, and they are currently looking to lease it out, hence why they remodeled it and took off all the old McDonald's motifs on the roof and in the interior. Last I heard, another burger chain was interested but McDonald's obviously declined to lease it out to a competitor. Starbucks has also been rumored to be interested in the site as well.
