History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

NOTE:
You may click any picture in this blog to view it on its' own screen.

McDonald's

The site of the original McDonald's is now The McDonald's Museum. Originally founded in 1940 by Dick & Mac McDonald in San Bernadino, CA. In 1955, Ray Kroc purchased the small chain of restaurants in Des Plaines, IL., and the McDonald's Corporation was born. Today, McDonald's operates 31,000 restaurants worldwide.
