O, speak of that; that do I long to hear. In other word(s): Cite? All I can find are a couple of petitions and a radio station blog speculating on the subject.

(Actually, I’d prefer Burgerville. But at least I only have to go to Centralia for a BV fix.)

Huh! I never looked into it (since I don’t particularly care for their food) but I have noticed that three of them within five (?) miles of me have CLOSED closed within the last six months. Interesting.

I find this amusing, since McDonald’s is/was trying to imitate Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr., at least with their Deluxe.
