my friends, they did it: they made an all-gray cinderblock-lookin' mconald's.

this beauty was spotted in des plaines, il, a suburb of #chicago that used to have an old-timey mcdonald's just sitting there with a little mannequin inside wearing an old-timey mcdonald's uniform (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald%27s_No._1_Store_Museum).

i wonder what philip langdon (author of "orange roofs, golden arches: the architecture of american chain restaurants" would think of this latest design turn?
