I've still got over 5,000 photos to move over (5,163 to be exact). This is going to be fun. Yippee. McDonald's, Malvern, PA Older location, still has the old style roof and 80's decor, despite being a very high-volume location. It is right on Rt. 30. Burger King, Paoli, PA I think it is an 80's location, but a drop ceiling had been added at some point. Was one of many BK's to lose their franchise early this year, and is currently in the process of becoming a Starbucks. Also, notice how they turned one of the old signs into a message board. KFC/Taco Bell, Phoenixville, PA I have a better picture of the entire exterior coming up in a future set of pictures.

Aspen Auto Body, Jackson, WY Looks like it was closed for a while. I think this would have been an Amoco or something originally. Rawhide Motel, Jackson, WY Another old motel, no vacancy, like every other motel in town. Neon actually works on this...
