McConfused

I admit it. I spend a lot of time thinking about fast food restaurants. And the crazy part...I haven't had beef/chicken/pork/duck/lengua/cesos in ten years. Not intentionally, at least, unless you count the time in Japan when the owner of the Mexican restaurant in Umejima surprised me with beef tamales.

Here I go again. I swung by the Tacos El Gavilan on Central and Washington and saw that the old sky-fly McDonald's arches by Stanley Meston had been neutered. When did this happen?

I may have to take a drive by the alive-and-kicking McDonald's in Downey, but the McVeggie doesn't exactly sizzle my grizzle. Grimace.

A salty message written in the eaves

Here are a couple former KFCs...one on Figueroa near USC, and the other on Chapman in Orange. I'm always on the lookout for older fast food restaurant buildings that have been recycled into other businesses. Reminds me of hermit crabs taking over abandoned shells.

On the subject of fast food businesses...is that Vampire Weekend song "Mansard Roof" about McDonald's restaurants?
