  1. I remember being at the grand opening when Ronald was there and I seem to recall an incident with an unfinished light pole and someone getting zapped.

  2. i was in the courtroom the day the kids were arraigned for stealing the Ronald McDonald from the play yard. The bailiff could just barely get it out without busting a gut laughing. here she is trying to read ..as i turned the corner all i saw was BIG RED FEET hanging out the side windows . we all started laughing the judged was pissed

  3. One of my favorite memories as a kid was meeting and getting the autograph of Gentleman Jim Lonborg in 1968 at that McDonalds. Years later, we were in college together at UMass-Boston as he pursued his dental career. Still a great guy.
