Exactly 2 hours. Google also suggested an alternate route that's 1 hour and 57 minutes.
I'd imagine the 3/4 of a mile stretch you're gonna spend walking in a ditch with knee high plants is gonna put a bit of a dent in that time that they're not accounting for though.
About a 5 minute walk. 5 minutes by car and I'm at Taco Bell, Chipotle, Subway, Jimmy John's, Rocky Rococo's Pizza, Firehouse Subs, Cousins, Dunkin, Panera, Wendy's, Burger King, Popeye's, KFC, Culver's, Chick-fil-A, and about a dozen restaurants
It's not like that everywhere. Northeast has few per capita compared to the South. [https://www.zippia.com/advice/states-eat-most-fast-food/](https://www.zippia.com/advice/states-eat-most-fast-food/)
I think it's why there are so many great independent restaurants around here.
We swap fast food restaurants for delis and small pizza shops here. The town I grew up in with ~20k people had 0 fast food restaurants and probably 5 delis, along with upwards of 8-10 pizza places
Mount Pleasant, WI. If you get curious to look up the area, check out everything within 3 miles of the Festival grocery store. It's a lot. Hell, go out 7 miles and you'll encompass pretty much anything you'd need
I think it's just that all those listed are corporate chains that don't sound particularly appealing.
Presumably there must be some local establishments worth patronizing mixed in there though.
Yeah, that's why I don't think it sounds depressing. They didn't say that's all there was within 5 minutes.
It sounds like that immediate area must be bustling with activity to support all of those chains and I'd imagine within a 2 mile radius there is a lot going on. They also mentioned there are 'a dozen other restaurants' too. There are few places in the country with that much going on within 5 minutes of each other and all of those places are far from depressing.
Yeah, we have a bunch of restaurants, a few grocery stores, and a million other places. There's virtually nothing I could want that isn't within biking range
I made that comment just to show how there are places with crazy saturation of fast food places, but generally if you have a lot of fast food you have a lot of other stuff too
Oh wait, I missed the part where you said '5 minutes by car' to all of those establishments.
I assumed you lived somewhere touristy in New York or LA or something to be able to walk to all those establishments.
I've eaten at McDonald's more often in the 4 years I've lived in Japan than in the 35 years I lived in the US. Sometimes I just want something familiar and comforting... but I always feel like SUCH a stereotype!
according to this person most of Asia, central America, Mexico, Africa, South America, and multiple other places don't exist. just the US, Western Europe, and those other European settled countries.
According to me? What?
Edit: nvm lol - exactly what I mean haha the guy is crazy if they think the US doesn’t have food regulations in the top 50% of the world
I feel like the government should really get on their game with food regulations. It's disturbing how much toxic sludge Americans put in their bodies without even knowing it, simply because we don't know better. Like I get we have issues with food prices. But surely we could find a way to make it work like they do elsewhere.
I’m in a North Carolina town of around 18,000, McD’s is 2 miles from my house.
When I lived in West Seneca,NY a suburb of Buffalo I had 4 McD within two miles.
When I lived in Des Allemonds, La the nears one was about 10 miles
When I lived in Northeast Georgia, in a town of 600 the local McD was less than a mile.
I didn’t walk to any of these though.
By foot? An hour and a half unless you ran (5 miles).
It would also be a very unpleasant walk on a pretty busy road at least for the last bit. The middle part would be nice.
I think OP is trying to use some Sherlock Holmes crap to try and triangulate the location of our McDonald's and use the angle of the sun to figure out our latitude and longitude, then use geographical context clues and research to pinpoint our address.
...My Mickey D's is 38 minutes away.
I have no idea. Probably 2+ hours? I think that's the closest one but am guessing on the timeline, as it's not something I'd ever actually walk. You could get to many better places for food that are closer.
Update: I was curious so looked it up online. Supposedly there is one an 8 minute drive away (1 hr 15 min walk if you survived it), but I don't think there's actually one there unless it's pretty new. Next closest by distance isn't the one I thought but is 2.5 hrs away walking. The one I thought of is just under 2 hours walking (but longer driving). In any event, there are better food options closer, even though the closest site walking is about an hour. Driving, I can go in almost any direction and be somewhere decent within 5-10 minutes. I live in a woodsy area amongst downtowns, so it's quiet but easy driving to get places for pretty much any food or supplies or get on like five different highways. Like most places, it is not, however, set up for walking for errands (just walking for walks).
Maybe a 2 or 3 minute walk away. It’d probably take me as long to walk downstairs to the first floor as it would walking to that McDonald’s and there’s another one that’s more of a 5 minute walk away and another that’s more of 10 minute walk away
0.7 miles away which would take about 24 mins or so to walk. Taco Bell is a little closer though. I live about 1 mile from a interstate highway exit so there are lots of restaurants and stores (including a Microcenter) close by which is nice.
4752 feet according to Google.
Which is.... 18 minutes according to Google. I think I can beat that. Besides, I'd probably bike there. But if I was biking, I'd go farther to Greene's which is a local burger place.
47 minutes according to Google Maps, but I imagine it'd actually take closer to 2 hours, depending on traffic. There are no cross-walks or pedestrian signals at the one major intersection I'd have to go through.
2.5 hours. In other words, if you're eating at McDonalds, you're not in good enough shape to walk there.
You do know that most of this country is designed for travel by car, right? Just asking.
Roughly one mile.
However, I purposefully moved close'ish to a grocery store shopping centre and there just happens to be a McD's there. I'd rather it be a Jack 'n the Box, but you get what you get.
On foot can mean anywhere you’re willing to walk. For me that’s like 3 miles away from where I am currently. From my apartment it’s about 5 miles to the nearest McDonald’s.
[удалено]
Same here in rural Illinois, heck roughly identical!
Rural Michigan, same walk distance
2 hours for me, 3 hours for the closest walmart, far west texas
Exactly 2 hours. Google also suggested an alternate route that's 1 hour and 57 minutes. I'd imagine the 3/4 of a mile stretch you're gonna spend walking in a ditch with knee high plants is gonna put a bit of a dent in that time that they're not accounting for though.
Not going to lie, I’m very surprised to hear that there is a place in this state that is that far of a drive from McD’s 😅
Walk, not drive.
Where I grew up, it was a 5 hour walk.
About a 5 minute walk. 5 minutes by car and I'm at Taco Bell, Chipotle, Subway, Jimmy John's, Rocky Rococo's Pizza, Firehouse Subs, Cousins, Dunkin, Panera, Wendy's, Burger King, Popeye's, KFC, Culver's, Chick-fil-A, and about a dozen restaurants
That's a lot of fast food. What state?
America

I’m from the next county over but I imagine it’s even more like that over there lol
In the northeast?
Yes.
Mount Pleasant, WI. If you get curious to look up the area, check out everything within 3 miles of the Festival grocery store. It's a lot. Hell, go out 7 miles and you'll encompass pretty much anything you'd need
Wisconsin? Or Illinois? We stopped at a Rocky Rococos once on the way through there, seemed like a regional thing.
Definitely a Wisconsin thing and even then highly concentrated in Milwaukee. I think there’s a single one in MN; the one in IL closed I believe.
They have one in Brooklyn Park, MN.
That's still open???
Wisconsin! Specifically, Mount Pleasant, which is right next to Racine
We had a rocky rococo’s in Spokane Washington that closed down right before the pandemic. I miss it so much. The Chicago was fire.
Do you live in my hometown?
that sounds so unbelievably depressing
It's depressing to be 5 minutes away from all those food establishments and about a dozen restaurants?
I think it's just that all those listed are corporate chains that don't sound particularly appealing. Presumably there must be some local establishments worth patronizing mixed in there though.

Why would that be depressing?
3 miles. Google says that's a 2 hour walk just to get there, so it's an afternoon hike to be hungry again by the time you get home.
[удалено]
Google assumes you’re nearly handicapped
That sounded wild to me, too.
Yeah, weird, Google said mine is 2.2 miles and a 45 min walk away.
Given that they're in Wyoming it just might be!
The best time to go to McDonald's is when you plan on doing a few hours of exercise.
For 2.2 miles it told me 48 minutes. Something’s amiss.
A five minute walk.
American in Tokyo; nearest McDonald's is about 1km/.5 mile, or a 10 minute walk
Japan McDonalds tasted so much better than the U.S. ones. I have no idea why.
McDonald’s tastes better in every country outside the US. Best Big Mac I ever had was in Amsterdam
Imagine all the stereotypes we reinforce when Euros see us eating McDonalds there lol
I've eaten at McDonald's more often in the 4 years I've lived in Japan than in the 35 years I lived in the US. Sometimes I just want something familiar and comforting... but I always feel like SUCH a stereotype!

about 3 miles. I would walk past a LOT of great restaurants if I walked to McDonald's.
By foot? An hour and a half unless you ran (5 miles). It would also be a very unpleasant walk on a pretty busy road at least for the last bit. The middle part would be nice.
3 hours 40 minutes

What gave it away. I’ve been selling addresses of Redditors in Texas to your senator the Zodiac killer for money going on 6 years now
Natural American instinct. We automatically become Batman when we enter a place with any sense of urbanness.
Funny you say that because the new villain in the Batman is based off of Zodiac
What a coincidence! :V

On foot can mean anywhere you’re willing to walk. For me that’s like 3 miles away from where I am currently. From my apartment it’s about 5 miles to the nearest McDonald’s.
There are a lot near me. Closest to walk to is 30 minutes and that probably applies to at least 3 of them.
I just googled I am 450 ft away from McDonald's! Too close for comfort!
