Chipoltes going in at 15th/Trenton, at a detriment

[PonderInc]

If a gas station has a leaky tank, they have to excavate all the contaminated soil and replace it with "clean" dirt.  This is expensive, but not that hard b/c the tanks are buried away from the building, and the excavation doesn't involve the structure.  At a dry-cleaners, the chemicals are being stored IN the building.  I wonder how you clean THAT up?  

I was looking forward to an adaptive re-use of that building.  (And the occasional Barbacoa burrito...) Hope somebody else can use the site safely.  Dang.

Found out this location was deemed to be unsafe for any dining establishment due to ground contamination. They are now "looking at a closed bar on the other side of the street" and are shooting for a november opening.

The building at the SE corner of 15th and Trenton??  That is also a cool old building that would be a good place for Chipotle, is there a vacancy?  I wish they would build new where that car wash is right by there, that thing needs to go...

Too bad they already tore down the duplex.
