It would be awesome to own a McDonald’s franchise in St.
Louis. When I approach the city from the
east, crossing the Mississippi, and I see that giant arch, I always have to
stop a couple times for Big Macs. There must not be many thin people in St
Louis. I suppose maybe you get used to it over time…
Like many families, our family toured the St. Louis arch
when our kids were young. We went there with my in-laws. When you get there,
the attendants put you in these tight little roller coaster-like cars inside
the structure and take you up to the top of the arch on a rail. It’s a fun ride.
Kind of like going into a coal mine except you’re going up. If you haven’t been there, I’ve got news for
you. It’s a great view at the top, but there’s no McDonald’s up there. Perhaps
I was presumptuous to assume it was a McDonald’s Playland attraction, but it
was a major letdown for me when we got up there. No McDonald’s.
I’ve been doing some research and apparently there’s no
connection between the arch and McDonald’s. I really don’t get it. Who in their
right mind would build an arch that big and not have it be a McDonald’s?
