New Shelby Dr. McDonald's, long view

Another view of the new Shelby Dr. McDonald's in the Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis. The road sign in back is for Millbranch Rd., and is just up from the site of a former Minute Man Hamburger place. Across Millbranch is the Millbranch Center strip center, virtually unchanged since it opened sometime in the 60's. I remember my Dad taking me to a restaurant in that strip center (possibly a Gridiron Restaurant) and asking him what a Minute Man was! I was very very young, possibly three or four years old, before my brother was even born. That Minute Man was either demolished, or remodeled into a long-running wedge style Burger King. In 2007 Burger King moved to the other side of Shelby Dr. and the old location was demolished.

 

Also, amazing how this corner location still has the wooded area in back that can be seen in the Pure Oil photo from many decades earlier: flic.kr/p/62yNUj.
