Mickey D's is 55

Interview a local manager?
Interview people who have worked at one?
Anyone around who worked at the first one?

Some ideas for an almanac article . . . .


McDonald's will celebrate its 55th birthday April 15 by offering 55-cent hamburgers (limit five) at restaurants in northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan. Ray Croc opened the first McDonald's in Des Plaines, Ill., on that day in 1955, according to a press release. Today the world's largest chain has more than 32,000 restaurants, including 89 in this area.
