One commenter says many food/retail stores at Chicago Union Station have
gone away since Amtrak owned the station. Bad omen.
"Amtrak has owned Union Station in Chicago for years. The retail businesses
have long moved out. Amtrak can’t seem to figure out how to rent out space.
Only one food area - on the upper level with about 11 fast food and coffee
joints and 2 newsstands. Vending machines are replacing food outlets on the
lower level - not just pop and chips - but smoothies and salads, too."
