Dinner Break! - Burger King - Coon Rapids, MN

Image
Oh look! The Burger King on Springbrook Drive closed up... That gives me a story idea! For whatever reason, my recent St. Cloud Burger King story has been fairly popular, so let's see if people are just as interested in this one. Since it’s Coon Rapids, and I have more “historical” material than I did for the St. Cloud Burger King , this story should be better. Although the material I have is probably less interesting than the St. Cloud King, so it all equals out. I better find some padding... September 11, 2022 The building has now been boarded up, so I’ll just do a quick drive thru of the property. There's not much to see. I didn’t bother getting out of my car. The weeds are already popping up through the sidewalk, looking pretty tall and neglected.  The city’s going to fine them for that... A stolen Target shopping cart sits on the sidewalk, waiting for service. But all the windows are covered, meaning there’s no one here to serve a Whopper. Nor could you go in and buy one.
