The McDonald’s at 3013 Columbia Pike is celebrating its newly-completed renovations.
The fast-food joint ditched the old-school, red-and-white motif in favor of a more modern gray-and-tan exterior.
Inside, faux wood floors and walls provide a higher-end look, while electronic self-serve order screens have largely replaced the human-powered ordering counter.
Despite the upgraded look, not everyone is completely happy with the renovations, which removed a few tables of outdoor seating popular with regular customers.
Minus 10 points for removing outside tables where the Ethiopian guys used to hang out.
