Not Your Momma's McDonalds
Still scratchin' my noggin' over the new Mickey D's across from the Q at Parkside. It looks great, in a kinda 1990s Tokyo kinda way. In fact, I hear they're developing McSushi as I write this. I'm particularly proud of the first pic of the interior, with the school bus out the window. Eerie, right? Is it true they're making school bus seats bigger to handle the obesity epidemic? Or did I just start that rumor? Anyhow, deeply serious interviews were happening and the guys from "corporate" were down to check things out. JUST to be absolutely certain it was a McDonalds, I felt the need, journalistically speaking, to order a small fries (small fry?) I believe they call it due diligence. They were just as McSalty and McTasty as I remember from my youth. Actually, they seemed better somehow, like absence really does make the taste buds grow fonder. Maybe they're using, I dunno, potatoes now? I'm sure the place'll get trashed, but in the meantime, I really like what they've done with the place. And I'm thru hating on McDonalds. It's too easy. The truth be told, the world is so much more ruthless than one multi-national Hamburgler. Just don't expect me to feed that stuff to my kids. They'll have to make do with Wendy's, great protector of the rain forest that she is.

it does look disturbingly like a school cafeteria in your pictures.
do not give mcd's any slack. they are not only responsible for contributing to the decline of health of our citizenry but they engage in business practices that contribute to the destruction of our environment AROUND THE WORLD. i know it can be overwhelming when one looks at all the evil that is in this world. however, when mc donalds does a reboot on one of their restaurants or adds the option of (monsanto grown) apples they are trying to white wash over their image, and you are doing exactly what they are hoping you will do. McDonald's has a reputation of shit and destruction for a REASON and they lead the pack. Do not go easy on them or anyone else who spreads filth and poisons our PLANET. Your local community is very important, but McD's is a significant cog in the machine and it is not to be overlooked or given a pass.
And the computer you used to write that comment?
To whom should I address a letter of gratitude for the delightfully unobtrusive signage on the new McDonald's? The intersection of Ocean and Parkside just got much, much easier on the eye and brain, with the loss the old red awning, and the addition of the flat wood-on-black.
My favorite part of it being closed was the lack of mickeyD's litter on that whole stretch of Parkside, Flatbush and Ocean. Why do people have to throw their litter all over the place? It sucks.
Concerning the McDonald litter: Why cannot McDonald's pick up the litter from their customers?
