Okay, that's why I've never seen it. I don't usually go up that way when I go there, because I usually take MARTA.

Re: [scifinoir2] McDonald's menu is getting leaner
The one at Moreland is actually very old. It was there when that complex opened a few years back. It's on the righthand side as you drive into the main entrance, at the end of the road just before you drive into the larger parking lot leading to Best Buy and Home Depot. - Original Message - From: "Martin Baxter" To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 2, 2010 3:09:16 PM Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] McDonald's menu is getting leaner The one in Lawrenceville is right up my alley And the one at Moreland must be new, because I was there a couple of months ago, and didn't see it.

Re: [scifinoir2] McDonald's menu is getting leaner
They're all over the place. There's one at Lindbergh station, another across the street from the Chamblee Marta station, in the Wal-Mart parking lot, one down the street from the Wal-Mart up Lawrenceville road, another at the big shopping center off Moreland Avenue downtown. The burgers are fresh and good, and they do a mean grilled split hot dog. My only complaint is that they don't do onion rings, chili, or milk shakes, the three staples I prefer with my burger. - Original Message - From: "Martin Baxter" To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 2, 2010 6:50:42 AM Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] McDonald's menu is getting leaner I've heard great things all around about Five Guys.
