Wow, that's the opposite of the usual McDs. This one was a relatively
large one, with the playroom and all, plus a playground outside. The
glass walls look. This now looks nothing like any other one I've seen.

I remember when McDs was suing towns to be allowed to put up the
huge golden arches. Times have changed. The one in my town is
in a little strip mall with no drive through, because they wouldn't allow
that. You'd almost have to know it was there.
