McDonald's on Tillary Closes!
We received word through a tipster yesterday that the McDonald’s at 169 Tillary Street, a long-time fixture in Downtown Brooklyn, had closed. Sure enough, that was the case when we went by this morning. According to signs up in the windows, the fast food giant lost its lease after, we’re guessing, 20 years. The property…
We received word through a tipster yesterday that the McDonald’s at 169 Tillary Street, a long-time fixture in Downtown Brooklyn, had closed. Sure enough, that was the case when we went by this morning. According to signs up in the windows, the fast food giant lost its lease after, we’re guessing, 20 years. The property does not appear to have changed hands recently nor have any new building permits been applied for. Anyone know what the plan is? Is the demise of McD’s good news or bad news for BKLYN Gold marketing efforts? GMAP
strange!
i mean when does a McDonald’s EVER close?
MCD’s on 4th and 1st – yikes – the patrons are these little skate kids who throw their happy meal burger wrappers all over the place while causing havoc using the parking lot as their own Tony Hawke practice ramp!
Bring in a waffle house! 🙂
DIBS – it is very possible that the LL is McDonalds Corp….they often buy the land and lease the store to the franchisee..I think Pete from Brooklyn has it right – development time
“i felt really really gross afterwards. not like sick gross, but just like totally icky inside? does that make any sense?”
rob, I get the same chemical feeling.
I think its fantastic news! Hoping they all start closing down soon.
sounds like someone thinks it is time to develop this site(large) that is way underutilized.
Someone is now going to have to edit the wikipedia article on RAMBO:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAMBO,_Brooklyn
“The only eatery in RAMBO is a 24-hour McDonald’s. RAMBO used to be part of Vinegar Hill until the 1950s, when the construction of the BQE effectively isolated it from surrounding areas.”
Without any further information this sounds like a really, really stupid landlord!!!!
That explains why this morning while waiting to cross the Manhattan Bridge, a disheveled down and out Ronald McDonald squeegeed my windshield for a quarter.
