I remember one of the brothers was named Dick....... the other one was named for a hamburger.

OK we'll go with the standard Ray Kroc in 55.
yup. though the brothers did have an interest for a few years they sold it too him later and the copyright for their name. which they later regretted. does anyone have any pics of the 50 ish mcds? I have been in a few of those in Miami, lousiana and other places. shoot my towns first mcd's was built below the road level. why I don't know but that is what the older folks say.

You mean with the single arch and the pointed overhanging roof?

You sure? Customers couldn't go inside those old ones......... all they had were two walk-up windows.
they did modified them and the ones I have seen were in appearance like that on the outside. it also had one side in Spanish and English.
 
Ahh back in time when i could tell a Ford from a Chevy...

A couple weeks ago we drove by a McDonald's newer but built more like the old ones...

Wild. We never had any Spanish ones here..... maybe over in Ybor City.

Yeah, my wife really misses the days when cars didn't all look the same.

Ah yes, I remember the golden arches and that neon sign hamburger guy with his arms blinking (moving) back and forth like he was running or something. The "newer" McDonald's double-sloped Mansard roof (many which are still around today) came out in the 1970's, so folks in their early 40's or younger only remember that and don't remember the "golden arches" days with that hamburger guy -- they grew up in the "clown generation". Also, back then, a burger was small, fries were in a small paper bag, and milkshakes were 8-12 oz or there abouts. We're fatter today because they "super-sized" everything and if they served a McDonald's meal like they did back then, people would ask "Is this a kid's meal?"
 
I can believe that.
it has been that way since regean. nothing new from Obama. though he certainly has added more illegals to that. but look up sanctuary city and since 79 Miami has been one. the largest jewish community in the us at one time was north Miami beach. and also the isreali consulate is there.
