Even the architecture of their fast food joints is fascist.

This was in Dallas. There was another one in Brownsville that this happened to.

Looks like their customers have grown up and they tried to follow suit and became boring adults.
Let's just say, I'm glad you guys aren't architects.
Psshht. Imagine how badass the Empire State Building would look with a permanent King Kong statue on top.
Now imagine EVERY BUILDING.
I accept your apology.
I disagree but I'm willing to accept a compromise at gargoyles.
Just more proof of the efficiencies of Capitalism
What... Is it saying? They changed branding? It sounds like it's supposed to say something more interesting?
This is about real estate value for the next commercial renter if a franchise fails. Cheaper costs for corporate too.

Thanks for reporting the often ignored extinction of wildlife at the local Mcdees
I have never seen a McDonalds that looks like the top pic. I remember plenty with play spaces, but they weren't visible from outside.
Iirc this was the McDonald's just outside the Dallas zoo.
If it isn't that one, the same thing happened to that one. Sad times.

I spent a lot of time in the car crossing the U.S. in the 80's and 90's so I saw a LOT of McDonalds. Most of them are bog standard but once in a while you come across one like this where they spiced it up. I've seen one with a train engine out front, one with a parked airplane, etc. There's one in Tucson with a giant T-Rex statue in front of it. I've also seen some crazy play places with slides going out of the building and back inside. Would've loved that when I was a kid.
I don't eat at McDonalds for many reasons, but if I had to walk through such a Chuck E Cheese-ass entrance to grab a burger I'd have one more reason to avoid it.
Fuck mcdonalds and all that but honestly if a respected buisness had some fun and personality on their building why avoid it? Anyone can just put up a brick and mortar store it takes someone who actually cares to try and have fun.
Also Charlie's entertainment cheese is now very much like this with their few locations it's just very basic no fun houses or little rides it's just an arcade now with VERY muted colors.

There really is a lack of kids-themed restaurants. Rainforest Cafe, Old McD with play places, You'd think they'd be able to keep a place that caters to families open.
