This link says your going to try to close a store, you will not succeed by

the way, because it doesn't have a drive-thru?????
Plus because of the supposed sweatshop tactics in making happymeal toys 
(unsup****ted I might add)
And the advertising aimed towards children (a logical target group)
Deforestation issues (has nothing to do with this store if it's even true)
I know this particular McDonald's and I also know they treat their people 
well, you would be hard pressed to find employees there that don't want to

be there.

Simply attacks cattle ranching in general. It is ridiculous to say that
it's 
all McDonald's fault, they buy the beef they don't ranch it. Yes there is
an 
issue here but the issue is with the cattle ranchers.

Talks mostly about the 60's and 70's IE: Old news.

This link doesn't mention McDonald's at all.

Good luck with your protest.
University Avenue McDonald's will be there long after your done.
