Fast food alive and well

I thought this was a most interesting name for a hamburger joint, one that I doubted would be found in the States, but I see it’s actually a chain of fast food restaurants using the slogan “The Last Great Hamburger Stand.” In any case, fast food can be found here in full force, with everything from McDonald’s and Burger King to KFC and now Fatburger.

It’s a pity I couldn’t post the full picture, but for various reasons I thought this heavily cropped version was wiser, despite the noise. It was in fact the name that first attracted me, although the people in the image added great interest.

Well that's refreshing honesty. I love the bi-lingual sign, but I can't help but wonder what the literal translation of the Arabic is. Great find, Helen. V

There's hope for us self indulgent tourists after all in this city. Great capture.

It says "since 1952" and it's here in the States as well. I learn something every day :-)
