My best friend's older brother worked here in the early 70's and when I got my DL we would go to the back door near closing time and get bags full. 
Hey you get it while and where you can. lol
Anyhow most of my old boys are long gone. I think about them and all the shenanigans quite often.
It's still there. Golden Arches are gone and it's just one of those ugly  buildings but hey, Macprogress or something. Often notable.


A fast-food icon

In September 1959, the Golden Arches arrived in North Carolina. The 140th McDonald’s, on Summit Avenue in Greensboro, was the first in the state, and the first fast-food restaurant in the city. The revolutionary streamlined method of food preparation, modeled on Henry Ford’s automobile assembly-line process, allowed diners to get their meals faster and cheaper than anywhere else in town. The menu’s only combo meal included a hamburger, fries, and a shake — all for just 45 cents.

In 1959, McDonald’s opened its first North Carolina location in Greensboro, and it quickly became a gathering spot for high school students.PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF © 1959 GREENSBORO NEWS & RECORD; © CAROL W. MARTIN, GREENSBORO HISTORY MUSEUM COLLECTION

Nearly 63 years later, the restaurant is still open in its original location, albeit in a new building. James “Smitty” Smith, who has co-owned the restaurant with his wife, Debra, since 2000, is proud to own North Carolina’s first McDonald’s. He’s prouder still to be one of the first African Americans to own a McDonald’s restaurant in the Triad, an honor he achieved when he purchased two other Greensboro locations in 1993. “From 1959 to 1963, African Americans couldn’t even go in the front door to be served; they had to go to the back door,” Smitty says of the Summit Avenue location. “Some of my church members mentioned that to me when we purchased it — how proud they were of my family. We consider this a part of our legacy.” — Rebecca Woltz

Text from me to fellers- Road block otw home tonight. I told them I was in the band and they said, "rock on kind sir".
I said "ain't no doubt".
J texted back, "Oh man. That's cool. Rock and roll can set you free"
I replied "Well, that and the word 'Veteran' embossed on your DL".
Numerous thumbs up. The fellers all amused.
Red light Blue light, brighter stars I see tonight. No fame. No fight. Just flame. Just flight...

Treasure chest is wide open.
