A blast from the past.....inflation marker...

I remember just like yesterday when the very first McDonalds opened in our city. You couldn't get anywhere near the place. I know that money has changed since then and that wages have gone up along with prices but still, as I recall...... the Burger, Fries and Drink didn't make as much of a dent on the weekly paycheck as they do now.

The first one here in Orlando was just a walk- up window. Burger, cheeseburger, double cheeseburger was it. Big Mac came later.

Three Cheeseburgers, large Fries and a Coke for less than two bucks. All the heart attack you can afford without going broke!

They did some 15 cent hamburgers all you want one weekend, we took a bag to the ballgame....bigger than White Castles.

There used to be a place called burger chef that I was told when they put their 15 cent hamburgers on sale for 5 cents back in the 70's the place had a line around the block.

The first in my area was maybe 1963 or so (that I recall), and my mother let me walk up there at age 8 to get a hamburger, French fries, and Coke….and expected most of the dollar she gave me back.

The first one in Virginia was down around Falls Church, Virginia.....A neighbor friend's dad drove us down to the National Zoo and we stopped there on the way back.....I'd say about 1964 or so.....We all got a burger, fries, and a milkshake.
