I'd like to agree that good for business equates to good for the community. In most cases that that's very true. But the larger picture for me is how McDonalds contributes to the health and nutrition of our community. Which they don't. How they influence food production, what food they serve, and their "consistency" has lead to a nation that equates fast with good and obesity with normal. Yes, a phenomenal business move. Disappointing however, that we're excited to serve another blow to our community's health in the name of access. Heavy sigh.

Still better than the gas stations, though. Interesting observations about a downtown McDonald's. I'd wager that they get less of an increase than the suburbs, though. Or more "small town" locations. Should be interesting. Apparently McDonald's has provided free Wi-Fi in most international cities for years. Go figure! Ok, well, they USED to be clean-ish.

In McDonalds? Where did you find that?! (he he he) Actually, this is a great post. Really gets me thinking about why McDonalds is doing this. I live downtown and I have seen a growth in mcDonald's patronage lately. I wonder if it's the free wifi. Sean Clean bathrooms? In McDonalds? Where did you find that?! (he he he)

Actually, this is a great post. Really gets me thinking about why McDonalds is doing this. I live downtown and I have seen a growth in mcDonald’s patronage lately. I wonder if it’s the free wifi.
