Their food is mediocre, but there are locations all over in the suburbs. Not to mention, within / throughout every other major city.

That's a point. Someone's eating there! In a press I will get a few of their tacos, but forget it for the more 'involved' items!

I was just thinking. There has been a few of the chain restaurants in Dearborn that have closed over the years.

Big Boy on Michigan west of Oakman closed a few years ago. It's vacant. There is one still open on Michigan west of Telegraph I believe.
Ponderosa on Greenfield north of Michigan closed a few years ago. Still vacant.
KFC on W. Warren just west of Wyoming. Closed several years ago. Never reopened as anything. There is a KFC on Michigan still open just west of Miller Rd.
Burger King on Schaefer north of Ford Rd. closed several years ago. Never reopened. An Auto Zone store was built next to it & took up space where the drive thru lane used to be.

There's still a Pizza Hut on Michigan east of Schaefer & a Little Ceaser's on Schaefer north of W. Warren @ Gould.

BUT! How many new and different restaurants HAVE opened in Dearborn? I think the issue here is the current populace doesn't frequent the type of restaurants that have closed, but they've certainly opened their share of new ones. [[you forgot Bill Knapp's)

I was trying to figure out how to address that issue.

Doritos Locos Falafel Tacos? Kofta Quesalupas?

This is a funny thread, BTW. I had no idea there was such an interest in preserving a Dearborn Taco Bell.

I doubt it has too much to do with the ethnic changes; Arabs eat fast food and it isn't like all or even most are strict Halal. Does Taco Bell even carry pork products?
