IKEA opening in Denver!

YES! The IKEA store in Denver won't open until the fall of 2011, but it's coming!

Here's a satellite photo from Google Maps of the plot of land upon which the store is being built.

When the store was announced, I deduced it would be built here but I thought it couldn't be here because it doesn't seem to me that there's enough space for an IKEA (they're BIG stores) and the parking lot (or parking structure) to go along with the store.

I will from time to time post some photos of the construction so you can watch the progress. The ground has already been broken and it is underway.
