McDonald's International Menu.....McBeer??

[AKAK]

Why, when in Germany, would you by a Dutch beer? Du bist ein Dumbkopf.

I'm still trying to figure out why people go to McDonalds.

Although... if they had beer at breakfast at McDonalds... I might have to kick that around certain days.

He really wanted a Grolsch, but McDeutch didn't have it. :tongue2:

I hate McDonalds because I go there, get a Mcburger, some Mcfries, maybe a Mcshake or a Mcflurry... and of course later then I get the Mcshits...:!

Last week, I was out in Long Island scouting around Jericho Turnpike, which, if you?ve never had the pleasure of driving, is one of those hellish, strip mall-lined highways with traffic lights that are perfectly synchronized to make your travel time as long as possible.​

As I was driving, I happened to notice a McDonalds sign up ahead. Nothing too special about that, except where the McDonalds should have been, there seemed to be a big white mansion. Maybe it was around back or something?​

And then I realized?​

The mansion was the McDonalds.​

Holy. Crap.​

This 100+ year old Georgian mansion is indeed a McDonalds, and while well known to locals, it totally caught me by surprise. I practically expected a maitre d? to greet me as I went inside.​

Known as the Denton House, its bones date back to 1795, when it was constructed as a farm house by one Joseph Denton, a descendent of the founder of the village of Hempstead. In 1860, it was given a Georgian makeover, complete with gingerbread ornamentation, and throughout the 1900′s, found commercial use as a funeral home and a series of restaurants.
By 1986, it was abandoned and on the verge of falling down.

McDonalds purchased the property with the intention of tearing it down and replacing it with a standard McDonald?s restaurant. Thank God for the citizens of the New Hyde Park, who worked to secure landmark status for the building in 1987.
McDonald?s had no choice but to restore the property and work within the parameters of the landmarks commission, which ultimately resulted in their most beautiful restaurant in America (if you know of a better example, please let me know).

It was decided to restore the property to its 1926 appearance, based on an old photograph. Opened in the early 1990′s, the house remains in fantastic shape to this day.​

One of the mansion?s most striking aspects is its beautiful glassed-in veranda?​

?which offers a pretty unique McDonald?s eating experience (how cool would it be if it was actually open, or covered by screens?).​

But the details continue around on its eastern side?​

?from its shuttered windows and brick chimneys to its eaves dripping with gingerbread ornamentation:​

The western half is equally stately?​

?though, er, methinks the drive-through might not be original to the Denton farmhouse:​

But had someone showed me this picture, I would have NEVER guessed it was a McDonald?s.​

Unfortunately, the inside has been totally gutted and redone without much inspiration.​

Still, it is far more unique than your typical McDonald?s, with a grand staircase leading to an upstairs dining area.​

Almost as an afterthought, the small ordering area is nestled to one side:​

Reminds me of Rogers Centre in Toronto. I'm ready for a LaBatt or Molson, and all they have on the board is Bud and Bud Light.

This one is in Independence, Ohio. Anyone ever been there?

I've been multiple times. One of my employers preferred hotels for travel to Akron/Cleveland is over off of Rockside Road and 77. All of Independence looks like that, they have some statute about building aesthetics before they give you a permit to build.

Anyone else feel like this is part of some dystopian future movie where in the background you see that the fast food restaurants have bought up all the historical places and turned them into restaurants?

Don't you mean "utopian"?
