Patrolling the McDonalds almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

round about 80-100 years or so. mcd's signs are solid steel with cement bases. Paint coating, rain resistant. some have PVC covers. So they last quite a long time. my estimate is probably 80-100 years or so, that sign will most likely last 50 or so more before the base fails.

With the Golden Arches closing hundreds of their restaurants this year, the survivor might be looking at this with some confusion.

So, if the comments section hypothesis about this being an ancient place of worship, does that mean the Hamburglar introduced Original Sin? Awesome stuff.

You've made an excellent point, but I can't see him offering an apple (unless it's been deep fried in Coke syrup)!

Indeed, good riddance. I also like the commenters' sentiments here - I'm not alone, wooohooo!!!
There used to be a webcam in Iceland of the last Mc burger under glass that was sitting there for years after the last Mc closed in that country.

I'm glad someone mentioned this! I'd already referenced Shelley's poem in a much older piece Ozymandias Now Β which some people viewed as "The End of McDonalds." The new one's less ambiguous.

Well that's only partially true.
"No one remembers the ancients who erected the temple. None know how or why it was built either. What we do know is that it was praised across the world greatly, and at the same time hated. Was it the gate to heaven, or hell? Was it for the greater good or evil? Was it the reason our earthed was scorched? No one knows. What we do know is it's dead now. And nothing more but a relic."
hope you enjoyed that and the references I made to your scorched earth story.

Ancient statues of demons, covered in flaking, garish paint, can still be found in the ruins of this mysterious temple. The ancients were scary people.
