Most Magnificent McDonald's, Revisited

With apologies to TJ, I couldn't find a photo online of the piano-playing Hamburglar at the World's Most Magnificent McDonald's, located in Warren, OH. A little Googling informed me that that franchise was formerly owned by Sam Covelli, who now owns over 100 Panera Bread Bakery-Cafes and over 50 O'Charly's Restaurants.

I was, however, able to find a photo of a postcard of the restaurant.



I also learned that in March of 1995, when the YSU Penguins football team were Division I-AA Champions, they were invited to the White House, where among the gifts they bestowed on the Clintons were:

- YSU No. 1 Jersey
- YSU Warmup to Mr. and Mrs. Clinton and Chelsea Clinton
- YSU Autographed football
- Crystal Penguin donated by Clarence Smith of Adamas Jewelry and Gems
- YSU Watches to Mr. and Mrs. Clinton
- Framed Picture of the World's Most Magnificent McDonald's
- Set of Championship Glasses
- Hand-Hammered YSU Championship Bronze Plate donated by Wendell August Forge
- Commemorative Ohio License Plate "IM4YSU"

So there!
