      I mean, I wouldn't say no to a brutalist McDonald's.

        If it were borne out of a progressive, socialist democracy, I'd be on board. Auth-right brutalist fast food would be a horror show.

            Libraries are basically the only remaining third space, but they don't fill the same need as the original commentor. Libraries don't have places for kids to run around, be noisy, and climb things. That would be awesome though

            Some do. My library has a play area set up for littles and another area set up for infants. On Saturdays they have a sing along story hour thing, and other events like that throughout the week. We also have plenty of local parks with playground equipment. No free place with indoor slides and ball pits though like McDonald's used to have.

              I'm actually going to say that I think designing a restaurant for disastrously unhealthy fast food in a way that makes it look and feel like a playground shouldn't be legal, and I'm happy to see them look as dull and unappealing as possible to young children.

              The ongoing health crisis is so severe in no small part because of things like that 1990s picture getting kids addicted to trash. This post feels like someone from the 1970s yearning for the days of Joe Camel. Plain packaging does work.

              Edit: I thought Joe Camel was much older than it really is.

              it's not about mc d's. almost every business is doing this. Everything fun, colorful, expressive and artistic MUST go. All must be replaced with homogeneous minimalism.

              mc d's is used as the example because they led the way with this shit.

                    Fair point! I entirely agree with that perspective in other areas. If we're using this as an example, then I understand why, but I actually think this is one example where the change is a tangibly good thing.

                      From beautiful 19th century architecture to boring modern office lounge. Not everything needs to be updated for current trends.

                      My college did this. It might have been due to bedbugs. They swapped the cozy built in furniture with this weird vinyl stuff. Bugs can't get into the seams.

                          The soon one makes sense 'cause of global warming. We don't be able to do it like the good old times.

                            That's what makes using mc d's as the example is a bad choice, but nobody consulted me about it.

                              I would, but I'm rejecting the mc d's part not the brutalist part.

                              brutalist architecture is fucking cool.

                                  Libraries don't have playgrounds, and don't allow food, drink, or birthday parties with friends.

                                  Actually a lot of libraries do events. They have separate areas for it

                                      I was born in the early '80s. The 2000s picture was what my McDonald's always looked like throughout my childhood. I've never seen a McDonald's that looked like the '90s pic.

                                      The 2020 pic shows current McDonald's, but they changed to that sometime in the mid-2010s.

                                      That 1990's McDonald's picture is the specific restaurant that was across the entrance from the Dallas Zoo, hence the animal theme. While it's now remodeled and much more dull, it still looked like the picture up until just a few years ago. In any case, it's not typical of what a McDonald's has ever looked like.

                                      As someone born around the same time as you, I do remember when the typical McDonald's had a bright red roof with the yellow lights, which the 2000's pic is a toned-down version of.

                                        The order needs to be reversed. People don't really read from the bottom up.
