I think Lamont should ask if the mystery machine is for sale. Lamont needs a van and can you picture him driving around in the mystery machine? That would be beyond awesome!! Lol
I want the styrofoam back. It actually did something to keep your order hot while you were on your way home. Styrofoam packaging was the only reason why the McDLT concept actually worked. The oblong container that was divided in the middle kept the hot side hot and the cool side cool. Styrofoam drink cups though? No thanks. LOL Every now and then, I'd get one of the coffee cups that would spring a leak after about 10 minutes or so. Who hasn't had one of those!?!? It wasn't always a full on leak though. Sometimes it was just seepage. Not much better though, because either way, I still want my coffee to stay on the inside of the cup until I tell it otherwise.
The whole of San Bernadino is the ghetto. I went to visit the grave of Randy Rhoads and I pulled into the long john silvers and was surrounded by homeless people.
What’s even more crazy my first job in 1991 bagging groceries at krogers I made 4.25 an hr, and I was happy as hell too…Have really hard time with that kinda $ now, I’d be at end of your off ramp asking for $ with my dog, and I have no dog..;)
I lasted all of 2 weeks standing over a grill the entire shift flipping patties or frying eggs in those little circles. Worked cashier at Del Taco all through H.S. instead.

@@anthonylong5870 There were specific places that had 1c machines but most were not. When I was a kid it was a nickel but quickly it rose to a quarter to equal arcade games of the era. Long after that a 1c horse ride existed at Walmart I think for a bit.
This museum is awesome. I like the old McDonald's items. I remember the styrofoam containers from the Big Mac. Thanks for showing the toys and the nice close up of hello kitty.
The only connection with McDonald's and the Looney Tune characters I can think of is they were the toy that came in your happy meal back in the day and if you have any of them today they're worth a good amount! Actually all the original toys or worth money. How many are old enough to remember the little aluminum ashtrays on the tables inside?
I remember! And the brown glass ones they had before that, too! I remember when I first started smoking (I have since quit), sitting in the smoking section of an Arby's after school, bumming cigarettes from my friends, lol!
They can’t because it’s the only McDonald that wasn’t actually owned by McDonalds. It was owned by the original founders and the only one exempt from being taken over by Big McDonald’s.
Surprised they don't! I know theat it looked ghetto af outside. But inside was clean and organized! I bet the people who see the inside would def eat there.
I remember when they use to put those toys in the McDonald's happy meal, i remember when they would put little sm barbie dolls in the girl's happy meal each week they would put a new one in them, its a shame how they got rid of all that good stuff, will never understand why
Shrinkflation, which is just a new word for Greed. The thing that confuses me the most about greed is how much do you really actually need???? Seriously how much? I guess it makes sense from a lovebombing perspective. They suck you in completely then they don’t have to do anything for you ever again, you’re already hooked. RIP Happy Meal Toys 😭
From what I’ve been told, San Bernardino faced a huge economic decline after the closure of the nearby Air Force base in the 90s. Lots of business closed and all the wealthier people moved out.
The idea that Styrofoam was bad because it doesn't break down in landfills, well guess what? *Nothing* breaks down in landfills because there's no oxygen! Even paper doesn't break down in landfills! So those paper containers you get at McDonald's? They don't break down either!
You sound like Dexter Jackson’s white alter ego from the movie Livin’ Large! “This is Dexter Jackson with Action 10 News reporting live from the ghetto!”🤣🤣
A couple friends of mine were chosen to help paint the mural on this establishment back in highschool. It was beautiful and attracted a lot of attention and business for a while (2011-2012)
I remember those looney tunes characters. It was a company that used to drive around town with them in pickup trucks and everyone who grew up in San Bernardino or lived out there knew about them. They were so cool and you would always see them driving around, especially through Baseline rd.
After you went inside, right after the Legos that you remember, and I do too, those cars were called Stompers. They were popular during the late 70s and a little bit of the early 80s. The models that were bought in store were battery powered, had lights, and I think they may have had two speed gearboxes too. There were a couple other companies that made Stomper like trucks, but unless it said Schaper on the package, it wasn't a Stomper and it wasn't acceptable. They were straight line trucks, so no steering, and no radio control. My brother and I each had a few of them. Sold separately, you could also get some kind of off-road course with peaks, valleys, logs and other stuff to race them on, but a lot of us also used our school text books and other things when the actual Stompers courses got boring. I don't remember for sure, but I think each of them coming with two sets of tires. One set was hard rubber and the other set was a not too soft, but just the right density foam. I'd say they were roughly on the order of the foam block that you might find some new Casio watches wrapped around. The McD's Happy Meal toy Stompers that were on display where you were, those were kid powered, and the bodies and tires were removable so they could freely be interchanged back and forth with the AA battery powered versions.
What the hell happened to San Bernardo is shitty corrupt leadership. Any town or community can be a beautiful place to live with the right leadership. Love ya muah 😘
I watched Puff the magic dragon on TH-cam this morning, it made me feel young again,an then you posted this video,talk about a blast from the past...lol
Wow, you have guts. I live in the L.A. area and the only time I "experience" San Bernardino is when I drive through it (very quickly) to go to the mountains. I didn't even know until a few years ago that San Bernardino has an international airport. That area is such a mess. I'm sure back when the McDonald brothers opened their restaurant it was a bit nicer, but time has really taken a toll on the SB area.
I really liked this video. One of the best n Lamont always keeps it simple. I didn’t know this museum was in the ghetto either but I remember the movie the Founder.
That whole area is bad. But it’s getting better because all the other counties got too expensive and if you have to live in California and you can’t afford it, you go there. Ask me how I know. I left 20 years ago. Western San Bernardino county is as good as it gets and it’s not bad. It’s actually pretty nice.
Funny thing about breakfast all day. They put a sign out front of my nearest mcdonalds about the breakfast all day. My sister got into a car accident because she was so into the sign and thinking, "Oh, wow, breakfast all day. 🤩Boom. Crash." She's okay. The car... mmm no.
I was born in California and lived at one time in North Hollywood and my grandparents lived in Panorama City…they bought their home brand new there….now that was YEARS ago I’m 63 lol and moved to Hollywood FL when I was 10…..would never live in LA area again 😂
This was a cool video. McDonald’s always had a way of pulling in customers. When I was a kid in the 70s I still remember the light blue styrofoam containers the fish fillet came in. As a Hot Wheels collector it’s always neat to find happy meal cars and those Stomper trucks because a lot of them were exclusive to McDonald’s.
My fav McDonald's Happy Meal toy is the burgers and fries that converted to robots! Was just thinking of them the other day and telling the kids about them . Those were the days.
Corrupt politicians, city council board members and all of it have reduced that city to a waste land. They still haven't learned since they filed for bankruptcy. The city in general, has a lot of history. Sad that bad actors have reduced it to a pile of overflowing turd in a portapotty.
Dude.. The school in the town next to me when I grew up had McDonalds playground equipment, and that Ham-Burglar jungle gym was one of the things!!! It looked way bigger back then lol
I remember those hamburger igloo tunnel things! I remember hiding in them, when I was playing in the play area at my childhood McDonald's. I even remember what they smelled like inside, lol. Because of all the sweaty kids that crawled through them, and of course being at McDonald's, they always smelled like fries and feet inside, LMAO! I remember the hamburger jail, too. The character's name was Officer Bigmac, IIRC. And that Hamburgler bust you passed just outside of the entrance would've been part of a swingset-his (missing) outstretched arms would have held the swings. I remember the Fry Kids rocker/bouncer ride-on thingie, too. Yes, I remember the styrofoam. I remember having a birthday party at McDonald's once, as a little kid, and one of the games was to see who could stack the most styrofoam burger boxes. (It's harder than it sounds, especially considering styrofoam holds a static charge, lol.) I remember when smoking was allowed in places like McDonald's. And yes, I would DEFINTELY agree that McDonald's toys have gone down in quality. WAY down. Like everything else, to be as cheap as possible, so the bigwigs squeeze out every penny of profit they can. Gotta buy that third yacht, you know. 🙄 Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane, Lamont. AWESOME video! PS-I want that Mystery Machine, lol!!
I remember working my first job at McDonalds as a teenager in Covina. Late 1970’s 😳 Pick up the outside trash, pick up the trash on the asphalt. Later I got to take orders but it was on paper & you had to do your own “math”. No real calculators. It was then the happy meals came out in little pre-formed boxes we had to assemble in advance. Glad I learned I didn’t want to make it a career 🤣
Id love to take off like you and go wherever i want, whenever I want! You have literally crossed the country several times just recently. One minute you are in Florida and the next, California! You must put a lot of miles on your vehicle! Thank you for sharing your life with us my friend and GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️
A bit surprised that McDonald's didn't want to preserve their own history. Also all those antique coin machines and the hamburger playground thing just sitting outside in the elements left to deteriorate makes me feel a bit sad. BTW, that burnt house was sold for $393k in September 2023 and sold for $204k in March 2024.
dude I HATED the burger jail thing as a kid... I remember going inside and being freaked out that I couldn't leave when a kid was blocking the ladder out 😅😅
I grew up in Los Angeles, Union, Western, Normandy, Vermont area... My mother rarely took us out to eat. Being an immigrant and raised by a single mom, life was hard. We were very poor...I didn't visit. McDonald's till I was in my mid 20's. Thank you for sharing Lamont. I love their breakfast now, but their quality of coffee has significantly decreased. ❤
I was surprised how nice the museum was inside considering the outside looked so dumpy. I am so glad i don't live in CA. I have binge watched a lot of your videos recently man and you do a good job with what you do. Stay safe out there bro.

We had multiple sets of them, and I just sold off a lot of stuff on eBay. Downsizing.
Oh wow I don’t have kids and haven’t eaten McDonald’s since 2011 but i had no idea that stopped doing that we loved them!
Shrinkflation, which is just a new word for Greed. The thing that confuses me the most about greed is how much do you really actually need???? Seriously how much?

A bit surprised that McDonald's didn't want to preserve their own history. Also all those antique coin machines and the hamburger playground thing just sitting outside in the elements left to deteriorate makes me feel a bit sad.
BTW, that burnt house was sold for $393k in September 2023 and sold for $204k in March 2024.
dude I HATED the burger jail thing as a kid... I remember going inside and being freaked out that I couldn't leave when a kid was blocking the ladder out 😅😅
I grew up in Los Angeles, Union, Western, Normandy, Vermont area... My mother rarely took us out to eat. Being an immigrant and raised by a single mom, life was hard. We were very poor...I didn't visit. McDonald's till I was in my mid 20's. Thank you for sharing Lamont. I love their breakfast now, but their quality of coffee has significantly decreased. ❤
What happened? McDonald's happened....it's the results of the franchise
Thanks for showing this. I didn't know it existed
Great video!, I was born and raised there, and yes we have some history in Sanbernardino . But, great video !!
I was surprised how nice the museum was inside considering the outside looked so dumpy. I am so glad i don't live in CA. I have binge watched a lot of your videos recently man and you do a good job with what you do. Stay safe out there bro.
Be safe out there bro 🫡🫡
This whole video is giving me Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas vibes for some reason.
Big Macs are small now! As proven by the size of those big mac styrofoam boxes. Great place! In the hood too lol.
Nice to see bit of different content from you Lamont 👍
Years ago I was at a McDonald’s in a town about 40 miles northwest of Madison Wisconsin where I 90 and I 94 meet. That place was big and very impressive!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔
Bring back Mc Donald's jail, but for adults who didn't get their extra sauce.😂
I got my head stuck in the bars of the hamburger jail.
1:28 I’d love a history of San Bernardino! Was born there in 77, but moved to Oklahoma when I was 18 mos old! It used to be nice at one time!
It's a social integrity of MacDonalds 😂😐
