Abstract:

McDonald's commemorated its 30th anniversary in downtown Raleigh by renovating an old movie theater into one of its signature fast food restaurants. Architects from Wilmington and Raleigh had an unlimited budget to use the existing 1920s theater on Hillsborough Street and combine it with a 1950s diner vibe to create the new restaurant.
