McDonald's Shelby Dr. (Whitehaven), October 2012
I remember this Whitehaven location back in the 80's when it still had unpainted brick and a shingle roof. The back grill area seemed very antiquated and cramped compared to the Southaven location I worked in, although this one is only a year or two older than that former (long gone) Southaven building. Per aerial photos, this location received it's metal roof sometime between 2004 and 2006. Before that, it had shingles spray-painted red.
Interesting property records here for this McD's: the surname "Freeman" has been retained according to records going all the way back to 1966. Perhaps this was land rented by McDonald's since day one. But those days are over, as the next photo will reveal.
