Ronald Reagan ate a Big Mac here
I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
NORTHPORT, Ala. -- Customers will get more than a burger and fries at the Northport McDonald's where President Reagan chomped down on a Big Mac during a 1984 stop.They'll get to see a bronze bust of the former president, inside a case with a halogen light shining on it 24 hours a day. Along with a plaque, there's a framed photo showing Reagan biting down on his Big Mac.
A plaque put up by previous owners was often stolen. But when Hanna tore down the old building and renovated, he decided to keep the memory alive, The Tuscaloosa News reported Monday.Atop the case are the words that bring back the historic moment: "President Reagan ate here."
