    Can anyone on here tell me what year the McDonald's on 17th street opened? I heard it was one of the first in the country. I graduated from Central in 1981, went to T-High one year before it changed over. And btw, I met my first wife at that McDonald's! I can be reached at "twinpeaksfan@aol.com". Thank you!

    This is a response to the previous comment:

    Hello, you young whippersnapper! It's possible that some in our class had children in your class!

    I think the McDonalds was built around 1961 or 1962. I remember the excitement of watching the cooks flip the 15-cent hamburgers. The franchisee was a Chicago dentist who was able to get a Tuscaloosa franchise. By the time the Tuscaloosa McDonalds was built, I believe there were already a few hundred around the country.

    Thanks for the comment.
    Jim
