We used to have the only McDonald's (that I know of) that was in a building designed by Eiffel.
They "modernised" it last year.
Wow, which piece of shit did they bribe for that? They completely destroyed the interior of the building. Isn't there any heritage protection?

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

I for one welcome our new brutalist McDonald's overlord

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.

Welcome to McDonald's, the All-American Restaurant, papers please

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.

Are you the ob/gyn that recommends pregnant people to swap chocolate for broccoli?

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.

And the right+libertarians want to destroy libraries too.
-
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

Oh, it's been harbinged. We're in it.
