My favorite unique McDonald’s is in Freeport, Maine.
> When the town wouldn't allow the fast-food behemoth to build a new restaurant, they put one inside an 1850 home.
> The year was 1984. McDonald's was looking to build a location in the town of Freeport, Maine. There was only one problem: The Freeport building design restrictions were strict, and the town wanted the fast-food giant to maintain the area's aesthetic. In other words: No golden arches. McDonald's solution? Remodel an existing structure.
