I am a New Yorker, plain and simple, and there has been a McDonald's I've been going to with one of its more recent moments dating as far as back as four years ago in January in W 34 St and 7 Avenue of Manhattan and only last Saturday did I learn that they just closed this past New Year's Eve when me and my friend had went up to the remains of the place with a notice on the door, saying that they were closing permanently. What upsetted me the most is that they did not give a reason why they closed.
My friend was also pretty pissed off having to vocally assert that "You don't close a McDonald's" and when I was shocked to learn that a McDonald's in my most convenient area next to a program I frequently attend just closed, my first reaction was "Those bastards. How could they?". We both had a craving for McDonald's, especially their new All-Day Breakfast Menu. Now without a McDonald's near the end of the newly constructed end of 7 train station, I felt struck down in a state of disappointment and defeat and didn't know where else to go to get a Mcdonald's or any great fast food fix for a night once every week.
McDonald's is like the biggest fast food chain in the entire world and one of America's industrial and corporate landmarks, how is it possible for even just one McDonald's, especially in the United States, much less fucking New York City itself of all places, to permanently close down like that?
