Visiting a Fake McDonald's

Sunday, October 11, 2015

Since we were near the area, we decided to head to Industry, California.  Why?  It is home to a fake McDonald's.  Really.

It looks completely real.  One tell-tale sign is the fence around the "store".   This store is McDonald's production store.  They use it to film commercials!  Chances are if you have ever seen a McDonald's commercial, it was filmed here.
