I know this because my dad and mother, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins are all in it.

AND I have tried in vain to get a copy of that photograph.

Now I have hijacked yet another thread.
Not necessarily so! McDonalds wanted to put a restaurant in a section of our town and the residents got up in arms. McD finally took over an existing location and just put up their golden arches out in the parking lot. Not nearly as large as most locations either. Actually, if you didn't know there was a McD there, you'd probably pass right on by it.
