Ever notice how much litter is actually McTrash?

You read that right. Get your injection molded pork patty fix from a freshly constructed McDonalds. If only other more beneficial things could be built this quickly.


If you commute through the River Oaks and International Drive section, you may have noticed some construction going on. Signs erected today confirm that it is a McDonald's restaurant.

Drive-through food in that particular area of town is severely lacking. In 2008 just before the economic collapse, The Sun News reported that a Kentucky Fried Chicken, CiCi's Pizza, and Lowe's Foods were coming to that area

I suspect many commuters and Carolina Forest residents will be happy to grab a McCafe or Shamrock Shake on their way to and from the daily grind.
