Last September this truck caught fire in the drive-thru at the local McDonalds. About a month ago, a full 8 months after the fire, a sign came up on the fence letting us know that it will reopen this fall.
A year, and it’s not because it’s taken that long to repair the damage. They could have rebuilt a whole new McDonalds in that much time, and for some reason they haven’t even started on the repairs.
It’s got to be either legal or financial problems. Or both. I have to admit being really curious about this, most likely I’ll never know.
I’m not a big fan of McDonalds, I find the food predictably bland. (Although I have to admit to giving in to the occasional Big Mac attack.)
But I do think about the people who relied on this business for their livelihood. A lot of franchise owners, even of the big chains, are small business men and women. A lot of them, and all of their employees, are like you and me; a few paychecks from being out on the street. I hope they’re all doing well.
The truck isn’t.

Maybe a fight between the two insurance companies?
Wow, probably no hope for that poor truck to be worthy of the road again. Great shots master Max!
Ah, yes. I remember this. I, too, find it curious that they're taking so long to reopen.
That must have been some fire! Yes, I bet its an insurance problem!
You took such great pics of this. Well done you!
My guess is a legal snafu.
I wouldn't have been able to resist taking pictures of this, either.
I'm going to suggest my own answer to the question posed: It is Cthulhu who is keeping Mickie Ds from reopening!

thunder - Cthulhu? Sorry, I don't get the reference.
I'll bet they didn't ask the driver, "Do you want fries withe that?"
yikes
