  1. Marshall, I know where the current McDonald's are located. They all take just a few minutes to drive to. Yes, there is no longer one in walking distance (and the old Hyatt location was not the only one, there used to be at least two more, but maybe, I'm showing my age). The point is that it is McDonald's NOT the developer that makes the decision about where and if to locate a restaurant somewhere. Whether you or I are fans of McDonald's is irrelevant. McDonald's has the money to locate anywhere it wishes. The fact that it doesn't have a restaurant in the core of the downtown means McDonald's thinks there is no market justification for it, and right or wrong, that is the end of the story.

  2. The only "nearby" McDonalds that I can think of is at 16th and Meridian. Aside from the fact that service at that location is horrible, it's hardly convenient to the "business customers" you refer to. The only McDonalds I remember being near the core of downtown anytime recently was the location in the lobby of the Hyatt and it was pretty much hidden. If you didn't already know it was there, you would NEVER know it was there. I'm no fan of fast food but I'm SURE there is a place (and a "want") for additional fast food options in the city core - especially McDonalds!

  3. I could suggest several 24 hour dining options (including a couple of "diners") in the downtown area...

  4. What the heck!!! What happened to keeping business in Indiana?

  5. John Hawkins was not the Mayor's "special assistant" nor did he get this job due to his political connections. His lack of ability, (which includes his inability to spell check), did not deter his placement with DMD as there are quotas that need to be met. His placement was purely racially motivated, and that is a sad reality for all skilled and competent people of all races.
