65 years ago today, Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald's® restaurant, near Chicago, Illinois. He got the idea and basic process for delivering fast food from the McDonald brothers who cooked burgers in California, but Kroc saw the enormous potential for "franchising" restaurants nationwide (and then internationally). My "cityscape" tie may have belonged to a McDonald's® manager before it wound up in a Goodwill store where I found it!
