Our closest McDonald's had this makeover last year. Visited for the first time a couple months ago. The difference is amazing. The place is spotless. The ambience is more like that of an upscale restaurant. The food was as consistent as ever (for better or for worse). It was, except for the food, difficult to tell I was in one of their restaurants. Even a fireplace and wide screen TV. Let's see how that theme works out in Harlem.
Or, Memphis, Tenn.
do they really want people (cough*teenagers*cough) there hanging out and chillen and driving away customers?? People who enjoy HD tvs and fireplaces arent gonna want to hang out with thug punks listening to their ipods and throwing french fries at each other. Seems like a disaster in the making
