I COULD REALLY USE A WISH RIGHT NOW WISH RIGHT NOW WISH RIGHT NOW
>>21951629Plain box building makes it easy to lease out to another tenant if they go out of business. That's why every restaurant looks like this now.
>>21951645Just give Pac-Man some E.
>>21951644Personally I like seeing converted former White Castles. If you do your look right there's a soulfulness to it. Unfortunately everyone just wants to be a Chipotle Clone
>>21951644Also brings that "clean, organized, healthier than you've heard" vibe that people need to buy more slop at inflated prices.
>postmodernist facade on strip mallthey're both soulless
>>21951644Yeah but just because it makes business sense doesn't mean it doesn't suck.
>>21951629They don't look so happy anymore, if I was driving past I wouldn't even give them a second glance. I refuse to eat at any business that has a utilitarian cube shape.
>>21951862we have to go back
>Happy's Pizza>Ribs Chicken Seafood>Everything but pizza.
>>21951644Coincidentally its also a contributing factor for me not opening my wallet as much. The mcdicks by me used to have a copper clad counter (mining was big in the area 150 years ago) and stained glass windows of local architecture. It was unique among mcdicks. Now it looks the same as any other place, mcdicks or otherwise.
>>21951687My favorite is former Rallys with the double drive thru
>>21951629After having a job as a city employee that cuts weeds, seeing those dogshit rock landscaping plots gives me ptsd. Guaranteed there's no tarp under that rock and it's two weeks from getting overrun with weeds.
>>21951862see something like this or >>21951991 are a "place" while modern slopbuildings are completely indistinguishable from each otheryeah it's just a slop restaurant and we all know that but no surprise i can remember specific conversations and events at specific fast food restaurants in the 2000s yet for similar memories wouldn't remember the place today
>>21951644yeah but the left picture looks like it's from an outdoor strip mall anyway>>21951687For me it's it's the former Blockbusters that still have the titled sign
