News of the pending closure of the notorious McDonald’s at 99 Rideau St. in Ottawa spread rapidly on social media, as residents past and present shared memories.
The restaurant has been in business for nearly 40 years, but the space’s landlord says the tenant is not renewing their lease this April.
It marks, for many, the end of an era in Ottawa, as the downtown restaurant developed a reputation as one of the most infamous locations in the city. It was, for many years, open 24 hours a day, and was a popular destination for a quick bite after bars in the ByWard Market closed. When the news broke Wednesday that the restaurant would one day be gone, people on social media were quick to share memories.
