Happy New Year from the Southwind McDonald's!
Happy 2021 everyone! Can you believe we finally kicked 2020 to the curb (where it belongs)!? To start the year off, thought it might be fitting to post a photo of something that has remained virtually unchanged since it was built circa 2002: the Hacks Cross Rd. McDonald's in the Southwind section of far* east Memphis.
I documented this McDonald's way back in early March 2015, the photo at this link being the best of the half dozen I posted back then. (Rare for me to capture a retail establishment or restaurant with even residual snowfall in the scene, even more so that the photo was taken in the second week of March!)
As you can see by the very recent drive-by pic I've posted today, nothing of any real significance has changed on the exterior, and the neon even remains in working order! Even if this place remodels sometime within the next year (which it will most surely do, now that I've jinxed it :P), hopefully as it stands now it will mirror the kind of stability we'll (eventually) find in the year ahead...

*So far east in east Memphis, Hacks Cross Rd. crosses (terrible pun intended :P) the state line clear over on the eastern side of Olive Branch. where we eventually find this place if we travel far enough to the south.
Happy New Year from the Southwind McDonald's!
