For the past few months I've been driving past an old Mc Donalds that's been under construction to be "modernized". Seeing the thing be finally be completed and turned into a souless black and silver cube is banal yet alienating. It's pointless in the grand scheme of things but seeing it almost everyday on my commute was something of a set piece.
Normally I wouldn't care enough to blogpost about this but I drove past it at such an angle tonight where I realized that it doesn't even look like a restaurant anymore, it just looks like a factory.
