Somebody once told me that is why the Walgreen's on Ogden has stayed vacant since they moved to Oak Park Ave.  They still have a long term lease and won't let it go.  Does anybody know if this is true?

Not true. There was a carpet guy in the old Walgreens...he went out of business. This fall there was
a halloween store there for two months. That property is owned by Inland, its a lease deal

Thanks for that info.  I remember the Halloween store, but not the carpet store.   Who is Inland and are they trying to find a permanent business for that location?

The carpet store is one block west of the old Walgreens.  There was a Halloween store at the old Walgreens during that season last year, but there have been no other tenants there.  There is a sign on the property that says "For Lease".  It is unfortunate that we can't get any tenants in there.  It's a big space but the parking is awful.  That may be biggest reason a reputable retailer may not want to lease the space.
