As you can see from the map above you are usually a lot closer.  In the east, south, and midwest, the country is basically blanketed with the Golden Arches.  What I find most shocking about this map is how perfectly the McDonald’s locations outline the country’s borders especially the Canadian border.  It’s as if they’ve figured that before you leave the country to go to some heathen otherland the last thing you need to fortify yourself for your journey is a Big Mac.  LoL!
