They mostly don’t build things the way they used to. So when I saw this McDonald’s in front of the Super WalMart in Bushnell, Florida, I had a strong urge to show it to those of you who may not understand where the term “golden arches” came from. They all used to look like this. Even before they had dining rooms attached to them they had golden arches. Not just those puny things you see on their signs nowadays, either. Real arches. Like these.
See how old I’m getting? I’m telling stories of how it used to be back in my day. When McDonald’s was a new thing and we thought it was cool to go to a drive-in and get such skinny hamburgers. Of course, we didn’t think of them as skinny–just affordable to kids who didn’t have much money. I’ll try to stop now and not tell you about the time some driver broke the door off our friend’s car at McDonald’s or all the time we spent hanging out at Porky’s.

I remember when you could get a 3 deal meal for .45 cents that included a hamburger, fries and a chocolate shake.
And, I was going to add .. remember the 19 cent hamburgers and 11 cent fries!
Yea, well – when I worked at Baskin-Robbins, cones were 15 cents, 25 and 35 for 1,2 and 3 scoops…
