Thread regarding Sears layoffs

@3ows "Could become a gentleman's club."

That'd be impressive, lol. The average Kmart is 95,000 square feet. Anything over 10,000 or 20,000 square feet is massive for a strip club.

Not sure why it's not subleased to someone. Anyone. Maybe it's the asbestos as someone said. Is it on the edge of town? Could become a gentleman's club.

Why is this Kmart close? Denver is booming and growing rapidly. The lease has 47 years left in it. Why not open a smaller Kmart or Sears? Why not sublease to At Home? This is stupid. Another stupid move by the buffoons at Hoffman Estates.

WPR here. Always remember to be kind to one another. Have a wonderful day :-)

@1gos "I’m sure the property isn’t that bad"

Any building that's been sitting vacant, probably has had homeless encampments in it, and has probably not been maintained for 6 years and counting is going to be pretty bad, and it will keep getting worse.

Judging by wpr's post, nobody is calling him a name that isn't appropriate. He truly sounds like a petulant child, and calling him an idiot is probably being charitable. Moron is more apropo.

If wpr's neighbors decided to fill their backyard with chickens and roosters, of course he would be accepting of that. His neighbor's property, and who the hell should force his neighbor not to have them. I would just love to be there just once at dawn to hear all the roosters crowing and making wpr think twice, the idiot.

Just because you pay property taxes does not give you the indiscriminate right to do what you please with it. Building a nuclear reactor on it would be a no no, as well as erecting a 10 story domicile on said property. Probably can't raise cattle or hogs unless you are zoned for it. Believe it or not wpr, many laws are designed to protect and maintain an orderly society.

@wpr needs to realize that he lives in a community and one rotten apple shouldn't be allowed to negatively impact this community due to their petulant, selfish and slobbish behaviors. Move to an island if you want to do whatever you want, just don't allow your filth to spill into the surrounding waters, which are not yours to pollute. Pig.

I’m not the one who is name calling. You are the one who sounds like a child. Have a wonderful day

@1gos - You "gotta love immature people who" don't care about others or their community. It has to be all about me, me, me, and my rights, and my wants, and to heck with everyone else. Grow up, you sound like a petulant child!

If the garbage dump were next to his house he'd be first in line complaining about it

Thanks for the name calling, gotta love immature people who call others names when they don’t agree. All I said was that he government on all levels has been over reaching for years. If I am paying my property taxes then who the hell is anyone to say that I can’t do what I please with my own damn property. You don’t ever really own anything in this country. Someone always seems to be able to tell you what you can and cannot do. Either way, I’m sure the property isn’t that bad, the city just seems like it’s looking for an excuse to get the building redeveloped into a movie theater or maybe a Panara bread, something hip that will last all of a year before the stores are out of business. Remember to be kind to others, I certainly would never dream of calling someone else an idiot just because I don’t agree.

@wpr is an idiot. I suppose if his neighbor wanted to convert his backyard into a huge, smelly compost dump wpr would accept the stench as his neighbor's right to do so.

The city should declare the property a public nuisance and implement condemnation proceedings. That might get someone's attention. Just because you own property doesn't mean you can allow it to be a blight on the neighborhood. It isn't a private matter when it affects the others around it, which includes lower home/business valuations for neighboring properties. @wpr must be an idiot.

Kmart has been forced to dump stores that are eye sores in other communities too. Problem is they are often full of asbestus adding 800k to the demo cost.

They need to stay out of it. The property owner shouldn’t have to answer to anyone regarding the use or non use of their land. The city of Denver has no business prying into this private mater. If SHC wants to continue to pay for a building they don’t use without attempting to sublease or operate a store or their own, or even negotiate a lease buy out and the owner wants to leave it vacant, that is their business.
