| Old Erie Blvd E & Seeley Rd location |
McDonald's may seem far too easy to write about being in many nations, but there are just enough former locations in and around Syracuse committed to memory to warrant a post:
SU Hill - S Crouse Ave; one is a sushi bar about to be torn down, another was later Brueggers and is now Orange Crate Brewing Company
Almond St - now Upstate Medical Offices
Downtown - now a Chinese takeaway
Clay - Great Northern Mall, possibly where Taco Bell or Subway are in the food court now; current location just half a mile up NY 31 in Liverpool
Cicero - E Circle Dr, now vacant as new one opened around the corner on US 11
Liverpool - Old Liverpool Rd before village, now Village Burger
Fayetteville? (NY 5) - Fayetteville Mall in food court; current one next to Tops on former Sears site
deWitt - original location replaced by current store in '70s and has been renovated since that time
Manlius - NY 92 and/or 173? A new one was proposed in recent years but fell through as Burger King are there now
South Ave. (NY 175) - now a church
S Geddes St. - also a church
Camillus - Camillus Mall? (stand alone one now across W Genesee St)
Cortland (Cortlandville) - NY 13, demolished when new one was built two doors down
Iceland and India both lost all of theirs so I can't complain!
Never was a McDonalds in Camillus Mall. In fact, there was a rumor that Carrolls kept their Burger King going even when it was losing money to keep McDonalds out.
ReplyDeleteCamillus Mall also had a Subway in the K-mart wing, Arbys in the Penneys Wing, a Sbarro across from the second cinema, plus two fancier sit-down restaurants that were independent. Across from the mall in what was once the Goodyear Auto showroom a Chinese place and I think Froggers Pizza operated.
