McDonald's to Replace Atlanta Diner?

The fast food behemoth may replace the decades-old diner spot on North Druid Hills Road with a drive-in restaurant.

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.
