A Tourist On TikTok Was Baffled By Freeport’s ‘Weird McDonald’s’
What? You’ve never seen a Mickey D’s that looks like a house before?
A TikTok user visiting Maine, named evil easter bunny didn't quite know what to make of the infamous "McDonald's House" located in Freeport.
Freeport, Maine, has some pretty strict zoning laws, so in 1984, McDonald's got around this by setting up shop in a 19th-century home. Rest assured, the inside looks like a regular restaurant
Those bright, golden yellow arches would never have passed the towns goal of keeping that vintage 1800's New England look, so a compromise was born. And as you may know, the same goes for the Starbucks in Freeport as well.
The comment section of the evil easter bunny video has some interesting thoughts on this unusual sight.

You misspoke. They have an ordinance that makes sure the historic architecture is preserved. They allow the big chain businesses
