Mcdonald's. I've been home, but talking to my co-workers everyday. McDonald's on Welch in in fact, clsoing. I think it will officially close today at 7 p.m. As far as whether or not there is anything people could do to save it, I'm not so sure. The business itself loses money. There is a lot of overhead and an inconsistent market. (i.e. most of the customers leave town for three months out of the year). Inside rumors might suggest that there could be a new McDonald's opening in Ames in the future....but that might not hold much truth to it. As for now, we can mourn the loss of fast food in campustown. And, anyone who wants can come visit me in the Union. Ah, yes. Mcdonald’s. I’ve been home, but talking to my co-workers everyday.

If I were going to come back to Ames after work tonight, I would eat there just to mourn the loss. I mean, the food never was that great there (sorry, Angie), and the service sometimes was pretty lacking (probably due to Angie no longer working there), but, you'd think with a location like that, they could manage to make some money. Bah. But it is a great location... Hmm, what could we do with a great location? I wonder... That is absolutely shocking.

I ate a cyclone fry (almost the whole thing) as a tribute... some of the last cyclone fries ever to be served... The burger tasted extra good for some reason. *sniff* But yes Pat. Tim, Michael and I dicussed the possibilities of such a great location... (campustown church?) Indeed, I went in for lunch today to confirm the rumors.
