Only the Golden Arches Remain

For 44 years, the Golden Arches have been part of the landscape in the Lenola section of Moorestown. That's a lot of cheap burgers, fries and shakes.

In recent days, bulldozers hungrily gobbled up the aging McDonald's on Camden Avenue.  It was one of the few remaining old-style McDonald restaurants.  It had a sloping orange roof and giant Golden Arches out front that reached for the sky.  They're still standing.

Debris flew as the arms and claws of heavy cranes formed dingy yellow arches that didn't exactly come together neatly to create a big M.

Homer Simpson would do a double-take at the empty lot.  It was quick and dirty.

McDonald's plans to replace the eatery with a more modern, brick-faced model.  Countless other McDonald's restaurants have been razed and rebuilt over the years in keeping with the global chain's reinvented image.

Opening day is expected in late October.  Salad anyone?
