Back to Long Beach

[countryford]

Well last week I went back to Kevin's place in Long Beach to pick up a total of 6 machines. 1 for me and the other 5 for places to the east. I was just delivering them to a shipper here in Phoenix. And since I have a full size van I had plenty of room. But before I got to Kevin's, I had to stop for lunch. I stopped in Downey at the oldest McDonald's.

The food was of course just basic McDonald's but was still cool to see the old building and the little museum.

And of course can't forget the sign.

After that, I went to Kevin's and we got the van loaded. We had a full load.

Here is from the side doors.

From the back door. The pink one on the left is the one that stayed with me. I'll take a picture of it, later today and upload it here.

It was great to see both you and Steve again!   Thanks for coming out and hauling those "old thangs" away.  

 

Now I'm able to park my car in the garage again, YAY!

Aw, Kevin..

You KNOW we love you more than our luggage!

Besides, the satellite view of Long Beach would be so much darker if you let the herd dwindle too much!

**running away, breathless**

If Gordon keeps this up, he's gonna tip most the east coast straight into the ocean.

**running away, breathless**

(that is TOO funny!)

 

Well that is a good thing, because if you loved me LESS than your luggage, I'd really be in trouble!  

  LOL

And don't worry, it doesn't look like there is much danger of "the herd" dwindling (unfortunately - haha).

 

Dan - Boy you have got THAT right!   LOL

McDonalds

I thought I had read a while back the McDonalds was gonna return to the original style of the restaurants. Wonder what ever happened with that... Anyone ever encountered a brand new McD's that was built to the old style spec?

Man! You got those machines packed in there!!! Miss the red and white tile at McD's. That takes me waaaay back.

 

[countryford]

There is a McDonalds along I10 just west of the Palm Springs exit that is the old style, but its a modern building. Thats the only one I know of. I haven't stopped there as of yet.

Old style McD's

I remember going to an old style McD's in both New Milford and Vernon CT in the early 70's. I remember being one really pissed off kid when they were torn down to build the fugly new style stores. I thought the old style was waaaay cooler. Still do.
