Wow - this photo was taken in the Campsie mall - and _this was once a McDonald's_. I hadn't been to this mall since we moved to a different area. This McDonald's *always* had a line (ahem; _queue_), so I'm sure it didn't move for lack of business. This is the second McDonald's I've seen close around Sydney - the other one was in Cronulla, which was also a busy location. The linked article below may have some clues... _burgers are becoming more popular in Sydney!_ This trend cannot come too soon for my tastes. I am boggled at the number of mediocre to poor gyro shops trying to compete for business. There are two categories where immigrants seem to get into business with little interest in what they're selling - gyro shops (Middle Eastern / Mediterranean immigrants) and bakeries (Vietnamese / Chinese immigrants). Come to think of it - there are a lot of businesses in Australia where the proprietors don't seem to give a shit about what they're selling - it's just a living for them, and I'm amazed they're able to stay in business with their attitude towards quality.
