This vantage point for this former McDonald's photo is the very last row of parking before hitting Shelby Dr., in front of the closing Macy's, on it's very last official day in operation. With this, uh, colorful thing opening across the street from the now former Macy's, one shudders to think what might become of the Macy's building itself.

Here's what's believed to be the last remaining mansard roof McDonald's in DeSoto County Mississippi. Despite the 2001 year build date posted at the assessor's site, aerial photos prove it was actually built a few years later than that. Either way, this is one of the last McDonald's mansard roof styles to be built anywhere I would imagine.

I put the ball of beef on the griddle, seasoning with SPS (Salt, Pepper, Shallot powder). Then laid a tortilla on top, and smashed it down as thin as I could get it. Let it cook for a minute, then flipped, and seasoned the second side. Topped with cheese. The finish was with "BigMac sauce", chopped lettuce, and pickles.

My most elaborate 1:43 scale toy cars with backdrop set up yet.
I took a picture of the drive-thru at Merivale Road McDonald's in Nepean, then printed it out on two sheets of paper, taped together. Then I stretched out the pavement in Photoshop and printed that out on two more sheets of paper. I placed the McDonald's backdrop to the back of a thin box, used the cover of an old Sony turntable as a platform, and lit it using a energy-efficitent light bulb (that's the same colour and light "temperature" as a normal incandescent light bulb) to simulate the sun and a battery-powered fluorescent light (that was made to use with the Game Boy Advance in low-light situations) as a fill light.

This is a complete set of six 1973 McDonald's prototype glasses. The glasses are Big Mac, Captain Crook, Evil Grimace, Gobblins, Mayor McCheese and Ronald McDonald.
More pics from a late June 2013 trip to the late 70's Germantown TN McDonald's. From this front view, you'd be hard pressed to know there's a playland in there. Blame that on those stirct Germantown codes that myself and my local flickr contacts keep talking about.

McDonald's Créteil RN6 17/06/2017 12h05
A McDonald's restaurant not like all others in Créteil. Was on my list to visit the day before but the plan changed due to a traffic jam and the visit of Versailles.
Had lunch here. Before these roof panels were painted olive green they were dark red. The area of Créteil has in total 5 McDonald's restaurants. Another restaurant with a drive-thru on the Avenue du Chemin de Mesly, an instore in the shopping mall Créteil Soleil and two others right next to the city limits of Créteil: Bonneuil sur Marne and Villeneuve Saint Georges (both a restaurant 'type McDrive'). KFC has one restaurant in Créteil, Quick still has 3 restaurant in Créteil (*December 2017) and Burger King 2 in the area of Créteil (1 in Créteil Soleil and the other in Bonneuil sur Marne).

Well, as a follow up visit to the Shelby-Getwell McDonald's remodel (www.flickr.com/photos/l_dawg2000/sets/72157635049351906/w...) this was an epic fail, seeing how I went to the WRONG McDonald's! That one does have a bit more of a front yard, but before the eyebrow remodels they were both given red roofs and the buildings looked quite similar. Due to the sentimental attachments to this one here, I was kind of hoping it would slip through the cracks and avoid the "Giant Yellow Eyebrow of Doom" (phrase "trademarked" by wahcovia_138), but obviously it didn't.
This just goes to show that so many of the new McDonald's look so similar, it's easy to get them mixed up! So I could just take a few McDonald's pics, photoshop different backgrounds behind them, and no one would ever know the difference, LoL! I did actually use the same exact set of descriptive tags for this McDonald's that I used for that one I took pics of back in July 2013. Thanks McDonald's, for making all your buildings so cookie cutter like these days!

This is the McDonald's in Batesville MS, with gold/light copper roof that has always been rare around this area. The building appears to be present on an old, very pixelated 1976 aerial photograph, but it's hard to tell for certain. A 1982 topographic map of the area has a little square dot that most certainly represents this building, but this really looks like it could be 70's-built to me.

The added playland was probably done in the mid-late 80's, along with the floor. But the lobby decor looks kinda 90's, maybe early 2000-ish to me.

One of my favorite McDonald's restaurants in the Netherlands from now on.
Location: Along the Eindhovenseweg Zuid, exit 28 (Best) of the A2 highway.
Reason: Visiting this store which has been totally refurbished in 2012 and re-opened in retro style like McDonald's built them in the 1950's with the golden arches and red and white tiles.
Facts and Figures: McDonald's Best opened in 1993 as a usual mansard roofed restaurant. But already with a rock and roll theme (juke box, Chevrolet Corvette on the ceiling, a life-size Marilyn Monroe) and in front of the restaurant a 10 meter high statue of Michael Jackson. In 2012 McDonald's Best has undergone a total make-over and got as the one and only McDonald's in the Netherlands a retro look of the 1950's with the golden arches and restro signage all around the site.
Other photos: -will follow shortly-

The Mackinac bridge opened in 1957, and is the third longest suspension bridge in the world. Had an opportunity to do some shooting while on vacation last week while up in Northwest Michigan and had a wonderful time in a beautiful part of the country.
I thought I was driving into this McD's to do a follow up on the mid-July 2013 photos of a McDonald's caught in mid transformation, but I realize this is a completely different location! That one was Shelby near Getwell, but this one is Winchester near Tchulahoma. I always get these two mixed up, the locations are laid out very similar. So yeah, that means this one was remodeled also, probably about the same time as that one. That one was a mid-90's build, but this one was built in 1985. They've both now been assimilated into the ever-growing eyebrow army!

Here's a somewhat strange McD's update for McDonald's Monday: Summer 2014, McDonald's had moved from this early 70's location and left it in a blah, debranded (yet somewhat retro) state: flic.kr/p/oeDLMi. On the way to visit the Southland Mall Macy's closing in late March 2015, this repaint of the same building was kind of hard to miss! This particular photo was actually taken one week after the Macy's closing day. Opening soon as "Sharks Fish and Chicken", this is not to be confused with Sharky's, a somewhat short-lived, more upscale bar & grill that occupied a former Steak & Ale location in a much more trendy area of east Memphis. This is reminiscent of that location however, so it could be under the same ownership. Note that McDonald's even went to the trouble of removing the classic "M" logos under the dining room windows here!

The 'no-logo' campaign of McDonald's is quite unique in the wonderful world of advertising. This mupi is one of the examples of this February campaign of McDonald's.
McDonald's has displayed its most popular products in pictos instead of appetizing pictures of Big Macs, French fries and Quarter Pounders, McDonald's uses the latest outdoor advertising icons of the most famous products.
Piece by piece the products are so recognizable that consumers automatically create a link with McDonald's. Therefore, the advertising agency opted for a campaign, such as the consumer has not been used to. The pictos show that even if McDonald's simplifies the picture, their products are still very recognizable.
The campaign is based on the design of TBWA\Paris, led by creative director Jean-François Goize and artistic director and illustrator Michael Mikiels. The advertising is not completely without a logo. If you look closely, you see the golden arches of McDonald's in every Picto in mini version.
