McConstruction

#Bridgeport CT–I just noticed this on the way to a call.  The McDonald’s at 1900 Fairfield Avenue (in my opinion the best run MacDonald’s in the area) is closed for construction.  I’ll bet they will be installing the new self serve kiosks.  In my opinion most McDonald’s need this to get the orders correct but at  it was the McEmployees that made this such a good store.
