McDonald's is an international chain and not something usually featured on Greensboro Daily Photo. However, the above McDonald's has been a fixture at the corner of Holden Road and Gate City Boulevard for years. When Border's Bookstore used to be in this plaza, people would combine a trip to Borders with a McDonald's visit. It is also popular with nearby Smith High School students and staff. Currently, covered in plywood and surrounded by barriers, this McDonald's looks like it is closed, but actually, the drive-through is open for business (and quite busy).
Currently, McDonald's is giving 4,000 of its stores a facelift. Changes will include more self-ordering kiosks (already big in Europe), digital ordering, home delivery, a return to dollar menu options, fresh (not previously-frozen) quarter pounder beef, mobile order & pay and curbside pick up are some of the new features McDonald's will roll out. It will be interesting to see which ones will be picked up for the above McDonald's. We're betting that the "AYPLACE" [sic] will be bigger and better when the renovation is complete. Honk if you love Happy Meals!
I imagine the PL will be forthcoming when the redo is finished.
I haven't been in a McD's in probably a couple of years now. And it's been a lot longer that I've had anything other than maybe one of those McFlurries to eat from there.

Once upon a time, we would, on rare occasions, eat at McDonalds. I can't remember why. Then we quit except for their ice cream or unless we were on the road and we couldn't find any other options. Their food also became quite expensive. I cannot remember when we last ate at a McDonalds.
I would say not remembering to remember in this case is a good thing. Right? Non? Nyet? Oui?
