The original Meadowview was exactly where the 485 interchange is on 74. It was in the V where Ridge road hit 74. It was never the same after they moved it.

The mcdonald's there is boarded up and the entire building painted tan. Roof and all?? Why would they paint this if they are going to tear it down?

I was wondering that myself because I was thinking it looks like the nicest boarded up building I have ever seen.

I shopped there a few times. Great prices and quality on produce and some meat. Crazy high prices on a lot of other items.

I think it's gone for good. I ate there once for a retirement dinner, and the food was bleh. Very bleh.

I thought it looked different. That's a good question.

There is still a Compare Foods by Arrowwood Rd, right? I know the grocery store doesn't look like much from the outside, but it actually has a great diverse Hispanic selection (not just Mexican).

There's one on Sharon Amity, between Central and Albemarle.

Probably to "de-brand" it. With the brick and roof in that configuration, it's obvious that it's a McDonald's. Once they remove the obvious markings, no one is going to mistake it for an operating restaurant.

I have to give credit to Google Maps. I just looked at their satellite view of the area and it looks to have been updated around November, given the state of semi-demolition of the carpet store at Sharon Amity.
