    It was a smart move for mcdonald’s corporate, but they’re using that advantage just to squeeze the franchisees all the same and the high prices for their awful offerings reflect that. Wendy’s has better beef than mcdonald’s sad meat discs, so I’d rather eat at wendy’s if I had to choose between the two. Thankfully I have other choices, so I choose neither.

      At least post-COVID, there’s been a mini-revival of locally owned and operated restaurants owing to the space cleared by the office park real estate bust.

      Lots of new little shops opening up. We’ll see how long they last.
