I have little doubt Ho Jo's land will be for sale for many, many years. It's not a great lot by any means.

We also have M & M Farms, decade after decade, no change. I assume K Mart Devon will be vacant decades.

The only property flipped quickly was jai alai, and that was due to the Mega Church fear.

McNuggets are processed. CFA filets are the real deal.
I also prefer dark meat (for chicken, that is)

Disagree. Wholeheartedly. That's ok though, YMMV. I've sampled all except Wendy's. Popeyes is slathered with stuff and greasier. Someone dumped and entire shaker of pepper on Shake Shack's chicken and thought that was a good idea. Give me a plain CFA filet, a soft bun and two pickles, all day.

It is a shame, that another restaurant could not take over the existing space, instead of a fast food restaurant.

Won't happen. The large standalone structures are geared for chains and fast food only. Sitdown chains don't fit in town or lower county. PF Changs and Chucky Cheese will be out of place. Multiples have failed in Stamford, so fast food it is.
The high end scratch cooking independents prefer smaller spaces on street front facing buildings. These are preferred by FFC southern diners.
I heard the place before was popular for a number of years but wore out it's welcome over time, fell out of favor, wasn't very good.

another implies that Hooters was a restaurant. That's not their product.
