    Yes, David, it is.

    Maureen, talk about a simpler time. It's neat to see that some of the restaurants have reverted back to that design.

    I appreciate the votes and comments.

    Theresa, this was originally a color film photo, taken at about 10:00 am on a bright day.

    Wonderful photo Mitch - I was living on the east coast in '62 - and 5 or 6 times a year it was a special treat when my parents loaded up the family ( 8 children) for a trip to McDonald's. Sometimes we were even allowed to order shakes!
