Muncie, Indiana is a terrific place to spot vintage signs and this is the crown jewel of them all. This gorgeous vintage McDonald's sign was installed in 1958.
The restaurant has been remodeled but the sign has been well kept and still lights up. It's even more impressive in person than it appears in pictures.
Like most kids, I was a fan of McDoanld's as a child. A cheeseburger Happy Meal with the toy and cookies was the bomb. My folks say I called it Donald's and announced to everyone in the car that there was a Donald's nearby. I don't go there much anymore as they're not hospitable to vegetarians but I do have a weakness for the Egg McMuffin without the meat and a Diet Coke. That's a breakfast of champions for any road tripper especially when there's a gorgeous old sign to enjoy.
If you go, it's located at 500 East Charles Street, Muncie.
