You go from South Commons to the 13th street bridge to 285 in Atlanta.

What is yours?
You need to focus on one subject at a time and are getting too tied up trying to cover up your past posts.
Slow down my friend and pay attention to what is being discussed.
We are all trying desperately to follow you but you keep drifting to other subjects.

I've noticed this with several other McDonald's that they will just tear them down and rebuild when it's time for a renovation.

They have done that to several stores in the metro area. Keep in mind Pezold Management, which owns a lot of McDonald's, is based in Columbus. Definitely helps to have local ownership sprucing up stores.

I agree.
There are a LOT of locally owned businesses that need sprucing up who still charge big city prices and invest next to nothing in their bldgs,vehicles etc.
An economically dangerous path to tread on with out of town competition ramping up especially Benning which has cut out
a tremendous amount of local business cashflow.
Maybe that is what is causing the 25 percent depression rate.

New development coming out of the ground, new jobs being created, Whitewater's huge success, incomes increasing, and a population growth rate that's leading other Georgia cities, looks like things are moving in the right direction.

All that and still on the bottom 10 in the nation.
You have to wonder what is really going on locally if your assumptions are correct.
It really shows how much propaganda there is in the city as a whole and how little of it has any real substance.
Denial is a terrible and very decimating thing.

The one restaurant that needs to be updated is the Burger King on Veterans. The one on the north side of town. That thing is pitiful and it has to be one of the busiest BK's in the city. The McDonald's that is next door to it puts it to shame. Schuster enterprises is here in town and have redone a lot of BK's in town but wont touch that one. It doesn't make any sense to me.
