By the way, ex McDonald's employee here, that little deadbolted building would've just been more storage. Things like extra cases of cups, extra boxes of toys, maybe an extra piece of equipment or two.

    Wow, Federal Pacific switch gear! That stuff was usually OK as was their fused safety switches, but their STAB-Lok regular circuit breakers were terrible and started fires because the mechanisms won’t trip on an overload or short. They also had poor contact in the bus stabs which often resulted in burned up or welded in place breakers, as well! Their commercial bolt in breakers worked OK BUT the mechanism was such that if the handle was blocked to prevent turning off, they couldn’t trip on overload or a short, possibly causing a fire! The National Electrical Code (NEC) states that all circuit breakers MUST mechanically be able to trip on over current even if the toggle handles are locked in the “ON” position, which these FPE breakers obviously didn’t meet these requirements, so their bolt-in breakers were junk like the stab-lok ones! They caused lots of serious fires! Cheers Wally B! 😋😊

    The mayor of the city recently posted a video discussing this property and several others. This property I believe is owned by a Carvana style business that for some reason was never able to open. They are in the process of trying to get zoning changed as somehow it was made so another restaurant could not be opened on the property after it was sold. It’s weird but they’re trying to get something back on that lot.

    Who remembers when Happy Meal toys were actually toys, and you still see them today and it brings you back instantly to childhood.
    Who remembers when McDonald's and burger king were themed birthday party competition and 3 hours felt like 1 hour today.
    Who remembers when you could go outside without dying from a heatstroke
    Who remembers playing outside and going on adventures without having fear of homeless people or as we called them, Hobos.
    Who remembers unsafe school playgrounds with 15-foot swings and monkey bars and teeter totters.
