Denise CrosbyThe Beacon-News
Leland Legends may not have turned enough of a profit to keep its doors open the last couple of years, but the now-shuttered downtown Aurora restaurant has served up plenty of controversy lately, following Mayor Richard Irvin’s refusal to grant the would-be new operators a liquor license because of a pending violation at another of their establishments.
