Well, here's the latest McDonald's<\/i> to undergo the chain's current style makeover. This one is at East Forest Plaza<\/a>, the Wal-Mart<\/i> anchored strip at the Forest Drive\/I-77 interchange.<\/p>\n

In general these upgrades have been going pretty quickly, so I don't expect them to be shut for long.<\/p>\n

I do have to say that I have found this store to be hard to get in and out of from Forest Drive. I've gotten coffee there a few times, but have kind of crossed it off my list.<\/p>\n
