Did you dig Atlanta Diner? Yes, no? If so, do you like McDonald's?
Because that's what may replace the shuttered diner spot on North Druid Hills Road, according to Tomorrow's News Today.
McDonald's has applied to DeKalb County with a request to reduce on-site parking, the popular development blog reported.
From the post:
As I noted when the Atlanta Diner closed, the parcel is rather small, in my mind limiting its uses. I had hoped, and judging from comments and emails, others did too, that a chain like Bojangles' might take space. Charlotte-based Bojangles' has plenty of OTP locations, but has thus far been unable to crack into the intown market.
McDonald's has applied to DeKalb County for a reduction in the amount of onsite parking, leading me to believe their intent is to have a primarily drive thru oriented restaurant with limited, if any, onsite seating. The request was to be heard yesterday, October 10th, but was deferred until next month.
Check out the post on Tomorrow's News Today for more information. And if you really like McDonald's, the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff area already has three locations to serve you:
- McDonald's, 3893 North Druid Hills Road
- McDonald's, 2077 North Decatur Road
- McDonald's, 2881 Clairmont Road

It's because people file in and make them a success. The question is - how do you get people to stop going to these places?
McDonald's serves small portions--as does your own kitchen--chhose small and get smaller. Remember, we had fast food all the way back to the '50s and we were not big until the '80s--when steroidal food production started. Look at old pictures and TV game shows--people were half our size then...and we had fast food.
