Let’s be honest. You know when Heneghan Wrecking shows up at the studio, your show has been canceled.
Heneghan Wrecking is making more space in the West Loop. This time, it’s for McDonald’s.
Harpo Studios, former television home of Oprah Winfrey, was issued a demolition permit last week, and this week, the carnage has begun. Starting with the north wall, the building is being knocked down, scooped up, and dumped into waiting haulers. In its place, the new McDonald’s corporate office that was approved by the Chicago Plan Commission the day after the demo permit was filed. Ah, synergy.
