Oldest Operating McDonald's

Downey, CA may not be a household name but it has a big claim-to-fame as home to the oldest McDonald's that still serves burgers. It is also the second restaurant to be franchised by legendary restauranteurs Richard and Maurice McDonald. While other McDs franchises have changed with the times and overhauled their appearances to simulate the muted tones of bourgeois coffeehouses, this location's design and appearance have remained mostly unchanged since it first opened in 1953.
