the town i grew up in in the 80's had a 50's Mcdonalds, it was actually "the place" to hang out for teenagers, well the ones that didnt have access to booze...but 25 years ago Wal Mart also wasnt a bad palce to go either...

There are a lot of folks from India in my grad classes. Apparently, McDonald's is a popular and common place to take someone on a first date.

Do they pick up a RedBox movie when they are finished dining, or is that reserved for the second date?

I need a beer.
^Only if they have a code for a free rental.
Seems like most the kids rolling around in those are fighting a losing battle with a cold and/or bad hygiene.
Watch for a couple minutes and the kid bouncing around the most will probably puke up their Happy Meal.
I am far from germophobic but I would not enter a McDonald's play room without a ventilator and hazmat suit.

Is it Friday yet?
Just found out they are closing the McDonald's on our local campus.
Man, I chowed on some 29 cent cheeseburgers there when i was in school.
Not healthy in the least, but it's one of those icons on campus that I remember. Thinking about taking the kids down there for one last meal and go play on the quad afterward.

All the McDs franchises put in since 1999 around here are upscale with elegant style, big screen TVs, WiFi, etc. All have been remodeled starting around 1995 in the N. Dallas area.

I saw the attached the other day and after reading some of the posts of this thread & the original news posting, I feel it is fitting...
The local Mc D's have been sliding downhill for a while; no sort of revamping will make them appealing or inviting. They are all owned by one person, and the management between stores varies greatly (there's 3 in Fairbanks, 1 in North Pole). One location can get you in and out in under 10 minutes, while others are near a 1/2 hour wait for a drive through order during a non-rush time period. I don't really know why a person will wait that long in their car for food, I'd rather go to a nice restaurant and wait then subject myself to that kind of idiotic wait (especially with fuel over $4 a gallon right now!)
I've essentially stopped going to McD's, other when the g/f really wants an iced coffee (and we found only one of the local locations actually makes it correctly). Otherwise, we'll stay clear and take our business elsewhere.

Pretty soon, you may be placing your own order and swiping a card at Mickie D's.

The McD near the office is now framed and sided. To be honest, the it looks like an insurance or accountant's office except for the big sign with the golden arches.
I don't drink coffee, but my wife loves the stuff and told me yesterday when we drove past McD that Starbucks is considering changing their model as well. At night, they would serve alcoholic drinks and more pub style food. It makes sense because what do you need a double espresso for an hour before bed.

Finally, a reason I would actually WANT to go to Starbucks, though their idea of an alcoholic drink is probably a double-decaf mocha butt latte extra grundle froth, but with some Bailey's thrown in.
