First time I ate at McDonalds was about 1962 in St. Petersburg and burgers were 15cents and fries were 19cents. That's when you sat outside on a concrete picnic table and ordered your food from a window and they had golden arches on each side of the building.

I've been eating at Red Lobster since 1972 when I was stationed in Savannah, Georgia. The chain has changed a lot from those days. Then it was one big room, brightly lit, blue painted wood walls and red vinyl booths. Crab Legs were usually about $7.99 for the dinner. It's always been one of my favorite places to get lunch. For $10 I can pick two shrimps (breaded & scampi) baked potato and cole slaw. They have the best cole slaw anywhere. Also I liked the grilled chicken with rice pilaf and a shrimp side.
