A half century of the Golden Arches

McDonald's turns 50 today. The above photograph looks very like the McDonald's "hamburger stand" (it wasn't really a restaurant) which stood on the south side of Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, in the early 1960s. I cannot now claim to be a huge fan of fast food, but this photo does bring back the memories. In fact, I think I can see my little sister spilling her milkshake into the radio speaker in the back of that Oldsmobile 98.
