McDonalds Architecture!!!!!
This will be a fun thread
![]() Please post pics of McDonalds restaurants in your city or country. Feel free to post and discuss stores that are unique in anyway including those located in strange locations or architectural styles that the outlet is located in ie of historical significance Here are a couple from Sydney I would like to share Th next one worth sharing, is that of an outlet in an arcade leading to Sydney's Wynyard Railway Station. As the arcade slopes down to the station, the restaurant steps down from street level. The dining areas are located higher than the kitchen and serving counter as you can see in this shot. As you can see in this pic, the counter should should be roughly at stomach level, but customers need to bend down a bit to grab their meal ![]() This outlet in the city centre is located in a century old sandstone building. Inside, the interiors try to keep to a historical theme ![]() This outlet is located within The Paragon Hotel at Circular Quay, at the harbour end of the city centre. The hotel dates back to the 1860's and the facade reflects that of the Victorian style, common during that period. Once you have had your Big Mac and Fries, you can pop into the bar next door (not associated with McDonalds) and drown it all down with a beer ![]()

This doesn't have anything to do with Mickey D's, but I just found it interesting when I went to Australia that your Burger King's were called Hungry Jack's, but everything inside was identical. What's that about?

I try to get away from junk food but I only discovered this photo yesterday and I couldn't resist posting it:
![]() McDonalds, Clifton Hill, Melbourne, Australia. The former "United Kingdom" Hotel. I think a Big Mac is almost obligatory here. Photo taken from "Art Deco Architecture in Australia, A Spirit of Progress", Van Daele & Lumby, published by G&B Arts International, Craftsman House, ISBN 90 5703 67 11 . Go out & buy it! An excellent portfolio of Australian Art Deco.

A few years back Burger King stores began sprouting up in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne alongside existing Hungry Jacks stores despite almost having identical menus (there were slight differences in menus ie Big King available at Burger King only). A year ago, it was decided that all Burger King Stores would be rebranded Hungry Jacks and all stores have since been rebranded.
