Last Monday I uploaded McDonald's pics, so here's some more "McDonald's Monday" photos from another Play Place location. Senatobia is about 35 miles south of Memphis, and home of the first Wal-Mart that I remember ever going to. McDonald's presence across the street from that former Wal-Mart location dates back to the very late 70's or early 80's (along with Wal-Mart itself), since this area was definitely not developed for retail yet per a 1976 aerial photograph. McDonald's rebuilt at this location in 2000, per assessor's records.
McDonald's replacing a mansard roof style building with another mansard roof style seems like a rather odd concept, but it happened more than a few times back before the "eyebrow age". The Whitehaven location was also replaced in the same manner circa 2004-2005, not too long before the eyebrow era started.

as per en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackinac_Bridge
The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac to connect the Upper and Lower peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. Opened in 1957, the 26,372-foot (8,038 m) bridge (familiarly known as "Big Mac" and "Mighty Mac") is the world's 16th-longest in total suspension and the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western hemisphere. The Mackinac Bridge carries Interstate 75 and the Lakes Michigan and Huron components of the Great Lakes Circle Tours across the straits and connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south.
Missing from this Hacks Cross location is the actual clock on the tower. I could be wrong, but it seems there definitely was a clock on the front, where the red "M" logo is now. They must of had so much trouble with it keeping correct time that they just gave up. The time on the clock at the Church Rd. location is never even close to correct! The neon McDonald's logos on the tower here are one thing however that have never been present at the very similar Church Rd. location.

McDonald's Monday this time documents an historic event (yawn!!). My main reason for making another trek back to Germantown this time was because I figured the new McDonald's would be open. Well, here it is, my first pictures from the actual new parking lot, looking at the new 1.6 million dollar location. I took enough pictures that I can post them over the next few weeks or so, sandwiched in between Kroger remodel pics of course!

McDonald's Downey | Vintage Animated Speedee Sign 08/12/2009 10h38
I think it great to see this animated neon sign at night too. Next time!
Speedee History
This is the oldest operating McDonald's hamburger stand in the world. When opened hamburgers were 15 cents and french fries were 12 cents. The towering neon chef, "Speedee" was McDonald's first mascot and symbolic of fast and efficient service.
Opened on August 18, 1953 by Roger Williams and Burdette ("Bud") Landon. Downey was the third stand franchised by Richard and Maurice McDonald, who founded the chain in 1948.
Ray Kroc then a Multimixer milkshake machine salesman and later founder of McDonald's Corporation, visited this McDonald's in 1954 to prepare for consctuction of his first McDonald's franchise in Des Plaines Illinois.
Which opened in 1955. Ray Kroc bought out the McDonald Brothers for 2.7 million. However this location was the only 'McDonald's' which was never affliliated with the McDonald's Corporation; this restaurant did not become part of the McDonald's system until 1990.
"Speedee" was replaced by a new logo in 1961. Ronald McDonald was created in 1963.
In 1994 the "Speedee" store was closed due to damages caused by the Northridge Earthquake. The store reopened in December 15, 1996 with the addition of the museum and gift shop. Lakewood resident and Owner/Operator Ron Piazza assumed ownership of the "Speedee" store from the McDonald's Corporation on July 1, 1998.
This McDonald's restaurant is located at the outside of a hypermarché Carrefour. Like many McDonald's restaurants in the 1980's at locations like this, they do not feature a Drive-Thru. The wish of McDonald's for locations like this is a relocation to a spot on the parking lot or near vicinity of the shopping center to make it possible to add a Drive-Thru.
In and around Melun there are 5 McDonald's restaurant and this is the one and only without a McDrive. Downtown Melun has no McDonald's restaurant.

McDonald's Bruxelles Bourse 14/03/2025 11h24
A plaque in the lobby of McDonald's Brussels Bourse which was the first McDonald's restaurant in Belgium in 1978. McDonald's lagged behind its rival Quick for a long time but the number of restaurants is now many times more than Quick. Currently (*03/2025) McDonald's has 119 restaurants in Belgium compared to 76 Quick restaurants, 57 Burger King and 21 KFC.
A photo especially taken and uploaded for the Wednesday Walls Group.

did you know.. nearly one in eight workers in the US has at some time been employed by McDonald's ?
interesting.
just for fun shot :)
This three-storey shopping centre, at the corner of Sainte Catherine's and Atwater, is the main shopping centre for the extreme western end of downtown Montreal, and it straddles the border between downtown Montreal and the upscale suburb of Westmount.
It's actually more like a large-ish neighbourhood shopping centre than it is a "destination" mall the way that, say, Place Montreal Trust would be. The largest stores in the mall, Zellers discount department store, the Canadian Tire, the IGA supermarket, and Pharmaprix (Shoppers Drug Mart in Quebec), are the same sorts of stores that you'd find in a suburban neighbourhood mall like, say, Faubourg de L'Ile in Pincourt, just arranged over three storeys into a more compact area. The only exception for large surface stores here may be Sports Experts, which is a fair bit larger than an equivalent sports store at a smaller mall.
The McDonald's in Alexis-Nihon opened in 2002, replacing a McDonald's just across the street.
This mall is also a magnet for Anglophone Quebec CEGEP (Quebec junior colleges) students. as it's directly connected, via the Atwater Metro station, to Dawson College, just across the street to the north.
For a better view of the McCafé, see the night shot I took of two police cars outside the Atwater side entrance to the plaza when I visited Montreal in July.

McDonald's Harderwijk 14/04/2017 18h44
Harderwijk was a white spot on the McDonald's map for a long time. With attractions as Dolfinarium and Walibi in the near vicinity this McDonald's is well in place in Harderwijk. Located along the N302 in between Lelystad and exit 13 of the highway A28 McDonald's made the right decision to built a big restaurant with a dining room on the second floor as well. McCafé, Table Service and a two lane Drive-Thru are part of the services of this restaurant.
It is the first restaurant with a elevator and it's the 11th McDonald's with a McCafé. Franchisee Anke Gerrits previously opened restaurants in Ermelo (1999) and Nijkerk (2013).

Not a winter photo, obviously. I took it in September and never posted it here, but am posting it now for the new politics-neutral Wal-Mart pool.
Beautiful old woodwork, and those brick walkways especially bring back memories of past long gone (or eyebrowed) McDonald's. Although I had never been to this one before, I'm lovin' it already. I hope they never change this place!
UPDATE: They're not changing this place, just obliterating it completely (as of late August 2014). It will be replaced with another Godawful eyebrow style building.

We went to the local cider mill today, normally it's a rather quick affair but today they were super, super busy so we ended up waiting in line for well over an hour for cider. All I could think of was the The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 episode of MLP FiM where everypony waited in an absurd line for apple cider >_<. Luckily I had some forethought and grabbed a pony or two to take with me for photos around the cider mill.
Little Mac was made by TiellaNicole , I had it commissioned as a gift for my hubby as he loves BIg Mac he let me borrow him for some photos today.
Place de la République 15/08/2019 08h24
Place de la République on the morning of the 15th of August, a national holiday, Assomption de Marie morning (Assumption of Mary). The southwest side of this large square has developed into a mini fast food boulevard.
McDonald's opened here in the 1980's and is one of the almost 1500 restaurants in France of which about 65 to 70 in the city of Paris 'intra-muros'.
In December 2016 Quick changed into a Burger King on the corner of the Boulevard Saint-Martin (right). It was the 11th Burger King in Paris when it opened. As we speak (*September 2019) there are 323 Burger King restaurants open in France, of which 18 in Paris 'intra-muros'.
KFC opened as the last restaurant here at République and as we speak KFC has 251 restaurants in France and 11 in Paris 'intra-muros'. KFC opened here in the early 2000's.
As we speak (*September 2019) Quick has only 141 restaurants open in France of which only 4 within the city limits of Paris.
Place de la République:
In all the past several years (over half my life, truth be told) going to Iuka, I had only visited the Iuka McDonald's once or twice, and even then those visits entailed just going through the drive-thru lane. This past holiday week was my first ever trek inside. Spoiler alert: I wasn't missing much, but never a bad thing when I get to check out a new - to me - McDonald's, provided I stay away from all their unhealthy menu items (which I was able to do)...
Anyway, this is what the front of the place looks like - quite presentable for an eyebrow-style McDonald's :P
