However with the exception of LA and SF, all the above cities are mcdonalds with drive-thrus.....well, actually, there are four that dont; inside a Wal-Mart. <br /><br />Id love to do an analysis of drive-thru fast food places total, and I will one day if I have the time.

I agree 100% with using WalMarts that way because I've never seen an urban version of one. McDonalds though has a lot of urban storefront locations.(At least in the midwest they do) They are every couple blocks in Chicago's loop plus they're in train stations and even museums. I don't think those make the overall cityscape any worse. If there was a way to only count McDonalds with drive-throughs I think you'd be onto something there as well.Aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280277691673459003.post-4792649777459778692013-04-14T18:54:25.060-07:002013-04-14T18:54:25.060-07:00If I had time Id love to do this for more places If I had time Id love to do this for more places James Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948509061118072998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280277691673459003.post-38459114470456956282013-04-12T10:44:16.301-07:002013-04-12T10:44:16.301-07:00I did the same for San Jose:

San Jose is trying to improve the city but it is still letting too much retail surrounded by a lot of parking.SantaTeresaHillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568390194214303882noreply@blogger.com
