Epic win

There was an interesting piece somewhere a while back how in many small American towns, the McDonald's functions like a kind of community centre, partly because it's often the only thing left in the town centre, and partly because franchisees and workers often have strong links in the community. I would still argue that it's poisonous to independent businesses, though.

Is this the article?
