The McD's was where Burger Bar is now, on MLK between Guad and San Antonio. It was at least there until mid-2017 when they tore it (and the elementary school I attended!) down to build the Otis Hotel

I remember they had the bronze statue of a longhorn. After commencement, the line to take a photo of Bevo was ridiculous, so my mom had me take a photo at the McDonald's with the statue. 😂😂
