Grosse Pointe Says: McDonald's Proposal Raises Questions

A proposal to bring a drew many comments on the Grosse Pointe Patch Facebook page.

The proposed fast-food restaurant would be on Mack Avenue and Canyon Street in Detroit, directly across from Grosse Pointe Farms.

A lot of residents weren’t lovin’ it.

“I say NO to the McDonald's proposal,” Elizabeth Distel said on Facebook. “We don't need more fast food on Mack. It's ugly and a bad idea all around.”

Take a look at what some other people said.

• Meghan MacEachern: “not a fan of this.”
• Ruthie Jewell: “Starbucky or not, sounds kind of trashy to me.”
• Sarah Arbulu Hinkle: “GO away mcdonalds!”
• Christina Anton Hayes: “Um, not a big fan of this idea but it sure beats that hideous trashy unkempt property now”
• Justin Michael Dloski: “No! That is the worst possible usage of that land. Horrible and stupid!”
• Chase Wakefield: “Whether or not you like Mcdonalds, an active business there is better than an abandoned car dealership. Active businesses take care of their property.”
• Sara Lolar: “I am VERY opposed to having a HUGE 24 hour fast food restaurant with TWO drive throughs. This is at the end of *my* street. We are already the superhighway of Grosse Pointe (at least it seems that way) and certainly don't need any more traffic. This is a residential neighborhood.”
