The Englewoood, New Jersey McDonald’s has been destroyed. Fire broke out at five o’clock this morning. The Fire Department is literally around the corner, but to avail. It’s gone.
McDonald’s is one of the few places that has been in Englewood longer than I have. How many cups of coffee did I buy there? How many times did I stop to use their bathroom. How many vegetarian breakfast sandwiches did I order? How many times did I use it as a focus point for giving directions? It’s all gone now.
I’m in mourning.
This isn’t going to help you with your breakfast problems but “Turn left at the burned out shell of a building with a McDonald’s sign” makes a great focus point.
I hope no one was hurt.
as long as no-one was hurt, who gives a fuck? it takes them about a week to construct a fully operational mcdonalds from pre fab. it’ll probably be back up and running by tomorrow morning.
arson? or carelessness?
I heard a guy wearing a mask and cape was observed near the crime scene.

You might want to re-think that lunchtime choice, pal.

Bon apetit’. :dubious:
Huh! Some people have all the luck.
Whew!
Thank goodeness it wasn’t Wendy’s!
One less McDonalds in the world?
“I’m lovin it.” 
To quote Finagle, with a line that I will laugh at for the rest of my life:
I thought no one was allowed to use directions like that north of the Mason-Dixon line…
And there was much rejoicing.
And the problem here is…?
I hate McDonald’s. I was beginning to think I was the only one in the world!
Would you say the locals are saying…
wait for it
“I’m loving it!”
Thanks, I’ll be here until the 5th. Try the fish.
Sorry. I didn’t realize that the OP was a Yankee.
Seeing as how I am well south of the Mason-Dixon line I give and get directions like that all the time.
My personal favorite is one that is used frequently in this town. “Turn right were the old Piggly Wiggly use to be”. Directions like that keep the half-backs lost so they spend more time driving and less time complaining about how we do things down here.
Hah! Food reviewers take radical action at last! Probably some terror-gourmets from the Michelin Liberation Front.
I thought only Burger King did flame broiling.
Hmmm. Looks like you’ll have to go to that Expensive Burger King on Lemoine Ave in Fort Ree. (home of the $6 Whopper)
