Trump Tower Chicago Is Trying to Lure Restaurants by Ignoring the President’s Name

Chicago real estate agents are trying to lure new restaurants to vacant spaces inside Trump International Hotel and Tower by ignoring the president’s name in property listings. In one brochure, agents used a photograph that had the giant sign featuring the Trump name either digitally removed or from before 2014, when crews hung the sign. The news comes about a month since Sixteen, the fancy and acclaimed restaurant inside the tower, closed to reconcept in part due to sagging business. Promo materials only refer to the building as “401 North Wabash Avenue.”
No savvy business person is going to open a restaurant in Trump Tower. The name is toxic. If they're smart they license Obama's name and take down Trump's.

Always sad when people let politics ruin their day or force them to make illogical decisions.

What exactly are you trying to say? The link says that real estate agents are using photos that don’t include Trump signage, signage which should be visible. What did beb0p make up?

Sixteen, in the Trump Hotel, is one of 5 Michelin 2 Star restaurants in Chicago.


As an aside, 3 NY condo associations have removed the Trump name. A forth is expected to do so, later this year.

Trump doesn't own the buildings. The owners wanted to squeeze extra money out of tenants by licensing the Trump name. Now it is working against them so they will take down the name. Silly to obsess over it. But we know how loony these liberals can be. Always boycotting something or other to feel smug.

This post could be a very good tool for an anti-drugs campaign.

At any rate, it's amusing and scary to see someone repeatedly set new low.
