Today was the big day in Leechburg, PA near my office. The newly built McDonald's opened. As I drove by later in the afternoon today, the place was packed (not an open parking spot) and people were lined up around the building for the new double drive-in. On September 1, 2009 the old McDonald's on Hyde Park road was torn down along with a vacant Long John Silver's building. From start to finish in less than three months.

As I stopped to get get photos last night, the freshly new place was perfectly lit up. There were young kids hanging out already by the door and some had duffel bags. I thought rather strange. Later after talking with some locals, I heard unconfirmed reports that the first 100 people in the door would get free Big Macs for a year. Rumor also has it that it is one of the most high tech McDonald's in the area.

It's the little thinkgs that make a differance in a community.

I remember about 5 years ago we had a new Dairy Queen - you would have thought they just invented slided bread.  Well Ove an hour line, for over amonth - and a half ohour for several more months...

When I was a kid, living in LA and would get out of the city with the scouts for a weekend we used to make fun of the small towns, and I remember one remard was, "There was nothing more exciting than going down to the local A&W to watch the Root Beer fizz".

And now you have McDonalds!
