McDonald's Old Style

This is the  McDonald's in Yakima Washington it is strait out of the 1950's. This how McDonald's looked when they were franchised in May of 1953 the second McDonald's was opened in Phoenix, Arizona by Neil Fox an executive at Occidental Petroleum. Under the single arch located up on the roof is the original McDonald's mascot Speedee, he was later replaced by Ronald McDonald. Inside they have a McDonald's themed motorcycle, a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz you can eat in along with a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. They also have a Rockola jukebox and the interior of the building is decorated with pictures of 1950's icon's from Rock and Roll to Hollywood movie stars. 

Owl Soda Fountain Wenatchee Washington

This is the Owl Soda Fountain in Wenatchee Washington its a place where you still can get an old fashion old-fashioned ice cream soda, ice cream sunday, milk shake and many other things from the past. It has resisted the change of fast food places like Mc Donalds and many others and stuck with the traditional way things were made. Not the cheaper faster ways of the bussiness world thats what probably what has kept them around for 107 years. Taste and quality still matter! I was told it has the been open since 1921. The Wenatchee World had an article dated 8/1/2012 (a few days after this photo was taken) states it was open 1894 in various locations. The Owl Soda Fountain is located just down the street from my last post Wenatchee Gas Station Restored located at  25 N. Wenatchee Ave.
