McDonald's from the Beginning

McDonald's - As We Remember

This may or may not be the McDonald's you knew, but it looks exactly like it, as they all do.  Or did at one time.  Nice cars, huh . . .

The first McDonald's Restaurant I ever visited was next to a set of railroad tracks running across Hwy 65 on the south end of Mason City, and it was a glorious meal for 50 cents or whatever it was.  The visit was on the day several of us went to JC to take the ACT exam, and I only vaguely recall being there marveling at what was to become an institution.

Not until yesterday when I ate 3 pancakes, 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon with coffee at the local Perkins for $3.16 have I enjoyed such value.  They should do their Customer Appreciation Week every week.
