The Glen------Glenview

http://www.glenview.il.us/glen/abouttheglen/default.asp

Stopped by there Sunday evening and heard that Scotty stopped by there also last weekend. This is the site of the "new" downtown located where the old Glenview Naval Airbase used to stand. There are about 40 stores slated to open but there are only about 10 or so open now. There are a couple of restaurants/bars open now. A 10 theatre Crown movie hall and tons and tons of parking. There was alot of opening weekend festivities going on as they shut off the the main road to automotive traffic.

My take on this:

Someone spent alot of money to build this place and only time will tell if it ever becomes profitable. The homes in this area have already spiked up considerably but this venture is a whole different cup o pudding. Worth a visit. They might have some decent eateries in here eventually.
