Can they go a little further and take out the Sack n Save while they are at it?

They're taking out most of its parking lot for sure. That's one of te reasons UNT scooped in on it when it did last year.

That McDonald's opened during the Hayden

Fry era. The owners, the Phillips brothers, were cleaver enough to include life size lime green football helmet light fixtures, lime green tables and counters, and a bunch of mural size North Texas action photos all around the restaurant.

I wish more eateries would use the Mean Green motif in their decorations.

There is a Whataburger in College Station that despite the orange and white vertical stripes sports an A&M logo in the upper corner of the roof. I tried to get the manager to consider a NT logo on the Whataburger here on Ft. worth Drive to no avail.

We'll miss you McDonald's.

GO MEAN GREEN

How will college students without cars eat McDonald's?

[Cougar King]

That McDonald's will be missed, it served me well on many late nights coming back from partying in Dallas or on Wednesday nights coming from Rockin Rodeo's college nights. Hope the IHOP isn't touched.

Bike for Big Macs?

Agreed -- that was a good location coming to and from games as well.

I guess it's only a matter of time until Taco Cabana meets the same fate

Probably as a side stop while they're conveniently busing to Kroger up on University.

Sad Story. Been going to that McDonalds since I was little. RIP Ronald

I always loved those lights since the first time I saw them at around age 7. Would have loved to have gotten one.

Did anybody on here get one or know of someone that did?

[UNTLifer]

Nobody should eat that crap. Sorry McDonald's fans, but it is true.

[bstnsportsfan3]

I ate their quite a bit in my 4 years on campus

Good one...plus one for you, Sir! Ha!

Phillips brothers did a lot of advertising and promotions with North Texas while I worked doing promos, etc. They are good businessmen who also had a soft heart for us even in the I-AA days.

The place just was never the same after it was renovated. I don't even remember if that was in the 80's or 90's.

I'll never forget (unfortunately) one year in the early 80's that we had homecoming the same day as TX-OU. A bunch of us from the band went to get breakfast before the parade, and the place was filled with Sooners stopping off before going to the Cotton Bowl. I couldn't help but think "Hey, this is our homecoming - get out of here!" But that wasn't the last time homecoming was scheduled the same day as TX-OU - why???

[Marty]

not a big fan of McDonald's either but that Mean Green McDonald's did get my business occasionally.

Looks like the Comfort Suites at UNT is meeting the same fate. It's fenced off also.

Stay hard McDonalds!

[CMJ]

That was the McDonalds I ate at as a kid. Though, we were more of a Burger King family.

I hope that area gets cleaned up so we have a better university entry!! ours looks just awful but i think the future looks promising.

Has McDonald's closing held you back personally?

[UNT90]

Good. Glad it's gone. Can't wait for the crappy Sack-N-Save to be bulldozed. It's a freaking eyesore.

Wish that whole area from McCormick to North Texas Blvd would be re-done.

The only thing I'll miss about McDonalds is the cute blond day manager that worked there when I was in college.
